Description

[0001] Surface heating device, use and method

[0002] The invention relates to a surface heating device, in particular for the floor, according to the preamble of claim 1, a use according to the preamble of claim 8 and a method for producing a surface heating device according to the preamble of claim 10.

[0003] Underfloor heating systems are generally installed on a floor using flexible hoses and poured with screed, after which floor slabs are installed. This procedure makes it very difficult, for example, to initially identify the damage in the event of a floor damage incident and then quickly and safely access the damaged area in the flexible hoses and repair the damage.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-maintain and safe device for surface heating.

[0005] The object is achieved by a surface heating device, in particular for the floor, using heating fluid, in particular heating water, comprising one or more elongated hose means, which are to be laid in particular in a floor area, in particular in a coiled form, whereby the heating fluid, in particular heating water, can be transported to release heat, wherein the hose means are arranged on flat bearing means, wherein the hose means are arranged on flat bearing means, wherein the bearing means essentially comprise rubber material, in particular consist thereof, wherein the bearing means have wide-area support elevations, between which the hose means can be laid in intermediate spaces, wherein the support elevations

[0006] Confirmation copy| with floor covering materials to be arranged above them without additional screed fillings, so that the floor covering material can be laid essentially directly over an upper area of ​​the supporting elevations.

[0007] The device according to the invention provides a stable floor with a surface heating system without the need for screed layers, as in the prior art, which would result in a disadvantageously high weight that must be taken into account for static considerations. The invention makes repairs very simple and environmentally friendly, as the floor does not have to be laboriously pried open and then refilled; instead, a floor covering in the form of a panel can simply be lifted individually, allowing repairs to the hoses to be carried out quickly and safely. The rubber material, preferably SBR (styrene butadiene rubber), also enables an elastic dampening function of the floor and dampens sound. Due to the close fit, the floor coverings are all directly connected, resulting in a less inert, quickly reacting heating system, and the heating temperature can be kept as low as possible in an environmentally friendly manner.The installation of the hose allows for a wide variety of installation paths, including winding and spiral configurations. These installation paths can be changed depending on heating requirements, even when the floor is re-covered.

[0008] The invention enables the environmentally friendly use of elastic recycled material, especially rubber, which also offers fire protection. The recycled granulate has a fire protection class 1 rating, contains no harmful additives, and is extremely durable.

[0009] By connecting the panels with tongue and groove, a quick and secure floor construction can be achieved. At least one or two conventional installation steps are skipped; in particular, no lower and / or upper screed layer, each 5-6 cm thick, is required to cure. The screed, in particular, increases the floor weight, and premature walking on it can lead to damage to the pipes. In the event of damage to a device according to the invention, only individual mats need to be replaced, which is both environmentally friendly and maintenance-effective.

[0010] Flat storage materials can be easily pressed and formed for production and are very durable.

[0011] It is advantageous if the floor coverings comprise and / or consist of tile materials and / or wood overlay materials and / or carpet and / or laminate and / or carpeting materials and / or plastic flooring materials and / or rubber flooring materials. Furthermore, an intermediate layer or impact sound foam, particularly made of the same material, can be laid over the panel materials, especially if the floor coverings must be glued.

[0012] It is advantageous if the flat support means comprise cylindrically shaped knob means as support elevations, wherein an upper side of the cylindrical shape forms the support function for the floor covering means and / or elongated support elevations, wherein intermediate spaces between support means arranged next to one another are adapted to merge into one another.

[0013] It is advantageous if the flat support means are designed as plate means, in particular with a width of approximately 50 cm x a length of approximately 50 cm x a height of approximately 2.5 - 3.0 cm, in particular with a width of approximately 33.5 cm x a length of approximately 29.5 cm x a height of approximately 2.5 cm, wherein the plate means are to be fastened to one another in particular with connection systems on the side areas, in particular with a tongue and groove connection and / or a plug-in system with a tab and a pin. 4 plate means each 50 cm x a length of approximately 50 cm x a height of approximately 2.5 - 3.0 cm, result in 1 m 2 .

[0014] It is advantageous if the flat storage means comprise a rubber material as a recycled material, obtained from recycled SBR rubber flooring material. It is advantageous if the flat storage means comprise recycled flooring material with rubber flooring material, especially with fire protection equipment, especially airport floors and / or hospital floors.

[0015] It is advantageous if the floor covering material is laid detachably on the supporting elevations.

[0016] The problem is solved by using recycled floor rubber material, in particular with fire protection equipment, in particular airport floors and / or hospital floors, for surface heating devices, in particular for the floor, with heating fluid in hose means, in particular heating water, wherein flat support means are provided with wide-area support elevations, between which the hose means can be laid in intermediate spaces, wherein floor covering means are to be laid on the wide-area support elevations, in particular in edge areas, in particular in opposite edge areas, of laying areas, flat support means with knobbed means are to be laid and in between flat support means with elongated support elevations.In this way, different rooms can be easily designed using a small variation of flat storage materials, the hose materials can be inserted quickly, safely and well distributed and the rooms can then be equipped with a wide variety of floor covering materials.

[0017] It is advantageous if the use is for apartments and / or horse stables.

[0018] The object is achieved by a method for producing a surface heating device, in particular for the floor, wherein hose means are arranged on flat bearing means, the bearing means are essentially made of rubber material, wherein the rubber material is obtained in particular from recycled SBR rubber, and are laid out next to one another in particular as plate means, then one or more elongated hose means for heating fluid, in particular heating water, for dissipating heat are laid out, in particular in a spiral shape, wherein hose means are laid on the bearing means in spaces between wide-area support elevations, wherein floor covering means are applied, in particular laid, onto the support elevations without additional screed fillings, so that a layer of the floor covering means is laid on an upper region of the support elevations in a substantially direct transition.
