Wall component for a wall heating system, and wall heating system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wall heating systems are laborious and prone to contamination due to the need for drilling through covers to access air flow channels, restricting their use and requiring complex assembly with integrated radiators.
Innovation Solution
A wall heating system design where the cover of the base plate forms exposed inflow and outflow areas, allowing air to enter and exit through these areas without the need for additional processing, using a groove and web profiling to create flow channels that connect the inflow and outflow, and can be detachably fastened for easy access and maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the cover completely encloses the base plate to protect internal airflow channels, then contamination is prevented, but air access to the channels becomes difficult and requires drilling through the cover
Solution Approach 1:
The cover is segmented into multiple sections (first cover section and second cover section) that can be selectively opened or removed. This allows air access to specific airflow channels without compromising the protective enclosure of other channels, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The cover transitions from a static, completely enclosed structure to a dynamic structure with movable or removable sections. This enables the cover to adapt between providing full protection and allowing air access as needed, eliminating the need for drilling while maintaining channel protection.
2Ease of operation
If the cover is made detachable to facilitate air access and maintenance, then ease of operation improves, but structural complexity and assembly requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The detachable cover is divided into multiple sections that can be independently removed or accessed. This segmentation simplifies the detachment process compared to removing a single complex cover, as smaller sections are easier to handle and install, reducing overall assembly complexity while improving accessibility.
3Reliability
If radiators are permanently integrated into the wall component, then heating function is ensured, but installation becomes time-consuming and structurally complex
Solution Approach 1:
The wall heating system is segmented into modular components including the base plate with airflow channels and separate radiator units. These modules can be independently manufactured and then quickly assembled on-site, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining the integrated heating function through standardized connection interfaces.
4Ease of operation
If drilling is performed through the cover to create air access, then air flow channel connectivity is achieved, but contamination risk increases and labor time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Air access openings are pre-formed in the cover during manufacturing rather than being created through drilling during installation. This preliminary action ensures that the openings are clean and free from contamination, while also eliminating the labor-intensive drilling process and associated contamination risks during on-site installation.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design simplifies the access and exit of air within the wall component, prevents contamination, eliminates the need for additional components, and allows for efficient material and effort savings by using a single cover for multiple base plates, while also enabling adjustable airflow and directional control.
Implementation Method 1
the groove, together with the cover, forms a flow channel that connects the lower, exposed inlet area and the upper, exposed outlet area
Implementation Method 2
The air heated by the radiator rises within the wall component and exits through several outlet openings formed in the upper section of the cover

AI summary
The invention relates to a wall component for a wall heating system, having at least one vertically aligned base and at least one plate-shaped cover which is arranged on a base inner surface facing a building interior. The inner surface of the base has a profile with at least one groove. The cover ends at a distance from the lower edge of the base, thereby forming a lower exposed inflow region, and at the same time the cover ends at a distance from the upper edge of the base, thereby forming an upper exposed outflow region. The groove together with the cover forms a flow channel which connects the lower exposed inflow region to the upper exposed outflow region.
