Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for space delimitation structures in buildings face challenges such as complex assembly, reduced heat flow efficiency, high weight, and aesthetically unappealing designs, while also requiring significant installation effort and materials for heat exchange systems.
Innovation Solution
A building structure with heat exchange surfaces made from coherent metallic flat material, featuring passage openings and an air-permeable plaster layer, which simplifies assembly, enhances heat transfer, and provides sound insulation and visual appeal by eliminating contact transitions and using expanded sheet metal or perforated plates for efficient heat exchange.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of energy
If pipe systems are arranged behind visible surfaces in suspended ceilings, then heat exchange efficiency is improved, but installation time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the heat exchange function with the ceiling panel structure itself by integrating pipe registers directly into the ceiling elements. This merging eliminates separate installation steps for mounting pipe systems behind surfaces, reducing installation time while maintaining efficient heat exchange through direct radiation to the room.
Solution Approach 2:
The ceiling panels are designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: structural support, aesthetic covering, and heat exchange. By making the ceiling elements themselves capable of heat exchange through integrated pipe registers, the system eliminates the need for separate heat exchange components, reducing both installation complexity and time.
2Loss of energy
If pipe systems are glued to plaster surfaces and covered with plaster layers, then heat exchange efficiency is improved, but material usage and installation effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the pipe system from behind the ceiling surface and positions it at the visible surface level. This extraction eliminates the need for additional plaster layers to cover the pipes, reducing plaster material consumption while maintaining effective heat exchange through direct radiation to the room.
3Device complexity
If panels with inserted lines are used, then installation complexity is reduced, but heat flow efficiency decreases due to reduced heat flow between interior and heat exchanger ducts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional panel-mounted heat exchangers to three-dimensional ceiling elements with pipe registers that protrude into the room space. This dimensional change increases the effective heat exchange surface area and improves heat flow efficiency by allowing direct radiation and convection to the room, while the modular nature maintains installation simplicity.
4Loss of energy
If sandwich construction with cooling tube register between two drywall panels is used, then heat exchange function is achieved, but weight and assembly complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the pipe system from the interior of sandwich panels and positions it at the visible surface. This eliminates the need for heavy drywall panels and internal mounting structures, significantly reducing weight while maintaining heat exchange function through direct surface radiation. The simpler single-panel construction also reduces assembly complexity.

AI summary
The invention relates to a space demarcation assembly (1) on a base (4) of a building structure (2), comprising metal sheet material (7) having contact faces (10) toward the base (4), web faces (11) leading away from the base (4) and heat-exchange faces (12), wherein folding regions (9) are formed between said sub-faces of the sheet material (7). The heat-exchange faces (12) are provided with a plaster layer (13, 14). The heat flow between the base (4) and the heat-exchange faces (12) is especially efficient because it takes place in the continuous metal sheet material (7). Through-openings (8) in the heat-exchange faces (12), together with the use of a suitable plaster layer (13, 14) on the heat-exchange faces (12), allow for the acoustic insulating effect and optical appearance to be optimized.
