Description

[0001] HYBRID HEAT-COOLING PROFILE

[0002] Field of technology

[0003] The utility model relates to the field of heating technology, in particular to radiant heating systems and ceiling cooling systems. More specifically, the claimed utility model relates to a hybrid heat-cooling profile and can be used to maintain a specified temperature regime in residential and industrial premises in winter and summer. One of the most basic areas of application of the utility model is in greenhouses for uniform heating of agricultural crops in closed spaces.

[0004] State of the art

[0005] Radiant heating systems are widely known in the state of the art. Radiant heating is a type of heating in which heat is transferred to the heated room mainly by radiation and, in a much smaller amount, by convection. Heating panels are used for radiant heating - heating devices with a continuous smooth heating surface. The flow of thermal radiation from the heating panels, absorbed by the surfaces of enclosing structures and objects, as well as clothing and human skin, creates thermal comfort without increasing the ambient air temperature, so the air temperature can be lower than in rooms with other types of heating, which is an advantage of radiant heating. The air in heated rooms is heated by convection from structures and objects heated by radiation. Radiant heating is most effective for rooms with high ceilings.

[0006] Radiant heating systems can be central or local. In a local system, the heat carriers in medium- and high-temperature heating devices are electric current or combustion products of flammable gas or solid fuel. In a central radiant heating system, low- and medium-temperature panels with centralized heat supply using heated water and air, less often high- and low-pressure steam, are used.

[0007] Heating devices for radiant heating are placed under the ceiling, in the floor or in the walls. When heating devices are placed under the ceiling, the flat surface that gives off heat is called a heating panel. Heating systems with such devices are called panel-radiant. There are radiant heating systems in which the ceiling that transfers heat to the room is heated by hot air supplied under the ceiling to the room. Radiant heating systems with heating panels can be used in the summer to cool rooms, for which cold water is passed through the pipes where the coolant passed in winter. In this case, it is necessary that the temperature of the cooling surface coming out into the room (to prevent moisture condensation on it) is higher than the dew point temperature of the air in the room.

[0008] Known systems and devices for ceiling infrared heating are made of steel or stainless steel structures with mechanical connections, which increases the time of heating in the cold season and cooling in the warm season of the premises to a given temperature and reduces the efficiency of transfer, respectively, of heat and cold.

[0009] Disclosure of the essence of the utility model

[0010] Unlike known radiant heating systems and ceiling cooling systems made of steel or stainless steel structures with a mechanical connection, the claimed utility model uses a material with improved thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, and a monolithic design, i.e., the production of a single piece of heat carrier pipe and heating / cooling surface of the housing, which allows for more efficient heat transfer and air cooling.

[0011] The objective of the utility model is to create a universal profile that can effectively cool and heat a room in various modes.

[0012] The technical result of the claimed utility model consists in eliminating the shortcomings of the nearest level of technology and developing a design of a hybrid heat-cooling profile, due to which the transfer of both heat by radiant means and cold is carried out more efficiently, depending on the time of year.

[0013] The technical result is achieved due to the design of a hybrid heat-cooling profile, which is an aluminum body, inside which a pipe for the coolant is located, while the said aluminum body with the pipe for the coolant are made as a single unit.

[0014] In an embodiment of the utility model, the hybrid heat-cooling profile is ceiling-mounted.

[0015] Brief description of the drawings

[0016] Fig. 1 shows a general view of a hybrid heat-cooling profile.

[0017] Implementation of a utility model

[0018] The utility model is a heat-conducting element, for example, a housing made of aluminum, coupled by heat flow with a source of thermal energy and / or cold, with a built-in and integral heat-emitting / heat-receiving pipeline.

[0019] Higher heating and cooling efficiency, compared to solutions known in the state of the art, is achieved by implementing a monolithic heat-cooling profile design, in which the housing with the coolant pipe located inside the housing are a single unit, as well as due to the housing material. The housing is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, namely, aluminum. Due to the aluminum housing, the flow of the coolant, such as hot water, through the coolant pipe channel is realized without heat loss.

[0020] In accordance with Figure 1, which shows a general view of the hybrid heat-cooling profile, the claimed utility model is an aluminum housing 1, inside which a pipe 2 for a coolant is located. Water, hot or cold, can be used as a coolant, depending on the season. Thus, in the cold season, the hybrid heat-cooling profile implements the function of heating the premises to a specified temperature, and in the warm season - the function of cooling. The housing 1 with the pipe 2 for the coolant are made as a single unit, without jumpers and additional parts, due to which heat / cold is distributed evenly throughout the profile and effectively transfers it to the environment. In addition, the utility model contains light-emitting diodes 4, placed on a substrate 3, which in turn is located on the lower surface of the housing 1 and under the pipe 2 for the coolant, as shown in Fig. 1. The light-emitting diodes 4 are covered with a diffuser 5, which protects them from external influences.Thanks to the presence of 4 LEDs, the hybrid heat-cooling profile acquires a new function and is used for lighting rooms.

[0021] From general knowledge about the efficient operation of LED devices, it is known that the main problem of LED failure is overheating. To avoid overheating, it is necessary to take care of additional cooling. Due to the placement of the heating pipeline on top, and the LEDs on the lower surface of the housing made of aluminum, heat reaches the LEDs with preliminary cooling, due to which the LEDs do not overheat and their service life increases.
