Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high thermal efficiency towel heater construction.
- a towel heater is substantially a radiator having an electric resistance arranged in a tubular body of the device.
- Said tubular bodies have a closed construction and are optionally filled in by a heat conveying liquid, that is a liquid having a high heat conductivity, and being an uninflammable and antifreeze material.
- a temperature adjusting switch allows the device to safely operate and provides a power saving by switching off the power supply as the device achieves a preset temperature.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a towel heater construction having a thermal efficiency greater than that of prior towel heaters.
- an object of the invention is to provide such a towel heater construction which is very simple from a structural standpoint and which may be made at a low making cost.
- Another object is to provide such a towel heater construction able of efficiently operating even if fully covered by towels or bathrobes and so on.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a towel heater construction which may be made starting from easily commercially available elements and materials and which, moreover, is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a towel heater construction which is very reliable and safe in operation.
- an enhanced thermal efficiency towel heater construction characterized in that said towel heater construction comprises a pair of tubular uprights coupled by a plurality of tubular cross-members.
- the heater construction comprises moreover at least a bottom air inlet and at least a top air outlet, allowing air to circulate within the construction by a stack effect type of circulation.
- the resistance conductor heats the uprights and the cross-members contacted thereby, and moreover heats the radiator inner air.
- the high thermal efficiency towel heater construction according to the present invention which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a pair of tubular uprights 2 coupled by a plurality or series of tubular cross-members 3.
- an electric resistance conductor 4 is arranged in said tubular construction.
- the construction 1 comprises furthermore at least a bottom air inlet 5 and at least a top air outlet 6, allowing air to circulate in said construction by a stack effect circulation type.
- the conductor 4 heats the metal bodies, that is the uprights and cross-members, contacted thereby, and moreover heats the radiator inner air.
- the towel heater construction according to the present invention comprises plug elements, preferably made of a plastic material, having air inlet and outlet openings, said air, also due to a specifically designed configuration of each said upright, moving from downward to upward under a stack effect, thereby enhancing the towel heater construction thermal efficiency.
- the subject construction comprises moreover rear slots 7, arranged through the rear wall of each upright 2, provided for allowing air to exit even in a case in which the heater construction is fully covered, for example by towels or bathrobes.
- the electric resistance conductor 4 advantageously comprises a silicone + silicone resistive cable, being schematically shown in Figure 12 , which is cut to a desired size based on the power to be provided and on the towel heater construction size.
- said conductor 4 is arranged in the heater construction 1 by a set assembling operating step, being schematically shown in Figure 11 , wherein the word "START” means the conductor 4 inlet point, and the word “END” means the conductor 4 end point.
- an aluminium adhesive tape strip 8 is applied, having a double operating function: it holds the conductor 4 in contact with the upright 2, thereby dissipating heat, and conducts heat so as to hold constant the convection motion generated within the towel heater construction.
- NTC probes controlled by an electronic control unit, are therein used, and, furthermore, a THS system operating as a mechanical safety assembly being also provided.
- the invention has provided a towel heater construction which, owing to specifically designed air inlet and outlet arrangements, is well ventilated, thereby the inner resistance conductor, besides heating the metal material contacted thereby, also heats air circulating under a stack effect, thereby greatly increasing the towel heater construction thermal efficiency.
- the materials used, as well as the contingent size and shapes can be any, depending on requirements.
