radiator

Abstract

Radiator (1) for a hot water heating system with a plurality of modules (1.1A, 1.1B, 1.1C, 1.1D) intended for water conduction and heat emission, wherein the modules (1.1A, 1.1B, 1.1C, 1.1D) are aligned parallel to each other, characterized in that the modules (1.1A, 1.1B, 1.1C, 1.1D) are aligned at an angle (Alpha) of less than 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis (2) of the radiator (1).

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a radiator according to the preamble of claim 1. Such radiators are used in heating systems where hot water is used as the heat transfer medium. Depending on the required heating output, a radiator comprises more or fewer water-bearing modules, which are assembled into a single unit and integrated into the heating circuit. The heat is transferred to the room air flowing past the radiator via the outer surfaces of the modules. In known radiators, the multiple modules are arranged parallel to each other and aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the radiator. Due to the resulting relatively large depth, the radiator requires a relatively large amount of installation space. The present invention proposes a radiator that requires less installation space than conventional radiators while providing the same or improved heating output.

[0002] The innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

[0003] This shows Fig. 1: a top view of a schematically represented radiator; Fig. 2: a front view of a schematically represented radiator; Fig. 3: a cross-section through a module of the radiator; Fig. 4: a cross-section through another variant of a module; Fig. 5: a cross-section through another variant of a module.

[0004] Fig. Figure 1 shows a top view of a schematically represented radiator 1. Here, the radiator 1 comprises, for example, a total of four water-bearing modules 1.1A, 1.1B, 1.1C, and 1.1D. These modules are aligned parallel to each other. They form an angle alpha with the longitudinal axis of the radiator 1, designated by reference numeral 2. The angle alpha is intended to be smaller than the 90° angle of conventional radiators. This reduces the depth of the radiator 1 and allows it to require less installation space. The longitudinal axis 2 runs along the longitudinal axis of the radiator 1. Mounting devices for securing the modules and their connections to the water circuit are not shown in the drawing, as the intention here is only to illustrate the principle of the space-saving arrangement of the modules.

[0005] Fig. Figure 2 shows a front view of radiator 1.

[0006] Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. Figure 5 shows advantageous embodiments of modules 1.1A, 1.1B, 1.1C, and 1.1D, which are beneficial for improved heat transfer. A cross-section of module 1.1A is shown in each figure. Fig. Figure 3 shows an elliptical cross-section of module 1.1A. This alone allows for an increased contact area between module 1.1A and the ambient air.

[0007] Fig. Figure 4 shows additional protrusions 3 that further increase the outer surface area of ​​module 1.1A in order to improve heat transfer.

[0008] Fig. Figure 5 shows protrusions 4 with a triangular cross-section. Alternatively, guide plates 5 increasing the surface area of ​​module 1.1A can also be provided.
