Abstract
A radiator energy saving unit 1 which is assembled from a flat pack cardboard assembly and then inserted at the rear of a panel type radiator 2 where it is filled with insulating material, such as prills or other suitable material, and which after final assembly reduces the heat loss from above and rear of the radiator whilst propelling the air heated by the radiator forward. The unit is best used on radiators located under windows and on the inside of outside walls. Preferably, at least one side of the unit has a reflective surface. The unit may be cut in one piece by computer numerical control (CNQ or may be made from two or more pieces which are adjusted telescopically. Preferably, the unit fits around the radiator support brackets 3 and is supported from above by plastic ejector nozzle spacers 5 which are clipped over the top of the radiator. In use, air desirably enters under the bottom of the radiator and is heated by the rear surface of the radiator whilst travelling and accelerating upwards due decreasing sectional area before being ejected over the top of the radiator and downwards over the front face of the radiator.
Description
I
RADIATOR ENERGY SAVING UNIT.
This invention relates to different methods and designs for the manufacture of a radiator energy saving unit which is assembled from a flat pack cardboard assembly then inserted at the rear of state of the art panel type radiators where it is filled with insulating material such as prills or other material to suit. Other types of radiators with modifications to design of unit can be similarly treated. The purpose of the unit after final assembly is to increase the distance of the heated air ejected into a room whilst reducing the heat loss from above and rear of the radiator and would be best used on radiators located under windows and on the inside of outside walls.
The unit fits around the radiator support brackets and is restrained from the front and rear by the wall and the rear of the radiator and supported from above by the plastic ejector nozzle spacers which are clipped over the top of the radiator. Air enters under the bottom of the radiator and is heated by the rear surface of the radiator whilst travelling and accelerating upwards due to the decreasing sectional area of the passageway and is ejected over the top and downwards over the front face of the radiator at some optimum empirical angle so as to combine with the heated air rising from the front surface of the radiator when the combined heated air is ejected forward.
The cardboard unit can be cut, by CNC or other means as required, in one piece to suit specific sized radiators or be made from two or more pieces which are adjusted by telescopic means to suit a range of radiators widths of the same height.
* : * All types of unit are completed with extruded plastic panels with profiles to suit which are cut to length and bonded to the outsides of the top complete with end caps *. : and to the side sections. When used in conjunction with state of the art decorative enclosure cabinets a simpler version can be used as required without the protective plastic side panels.
The construction will be of cardboard preferably with at least one side having a * reflective surface together with adhesives with or without peel-off coverings or other * state of the art fixings or materials to suit.
: * The insulation means can be prills or any other suitable state of the art insulation material or method to suit and be used to fill the cardboard assembly in-situ..
Any variations in type of radiator or cut-outs required to prevent collision with valves or other connections will be to suit.
The specific embodiments and comparison of the different types of units will now be described by way of example with reference to accompanying drawings in which:-Figure 1 shows an example of the development for an enclosure cut-out for a specific sized radiator made from a flat sheet of cardboard whose profile is Cut along the continuous lines 1, and scored along the chain dotted bend lines 2, with two access slots for the support brackets cut along 3, with a bend line 2, at each side to allow for the tolerances in the positioning of the two support brackets.
Two protective side panels 4, and a protective/decorative top panel 5, to suit will be attached upon completion.
A-A shows side view section of cardboard enclosure after being folded along bend lines into shape B-B shows plan view section of cardboard enclosure after being folded along bend lines into shape View C' shows an enlarged detailed view of the left band end assembly after being folded along bend lines into shape View D' shows an alternative method where the access slots of width 6, are made sufficient to clear the lateral tolerances in the location of the support brackets which are attached to the wall and which are then covered by means of two strips 7, with slits 8, which fit over the support brackets which are then bonded onto the cardboard sheet for location purposes and prevent any leakage of polystyrene prills if used as insulation means.
Figure 2, shows the assembly thus far described 1, filled with insulating means in-situ and located behind a panel type radiator 2, with two support brackets 3, attached to wall which hook under supports brackets attached to rear of the radiator which has plastic ejector spacers 5, equi-spaced located along and clipped over the top of the s' radiator which provides support to assembly 1, and provides an ejector nozzle profile between the insulation assembly 5, which is held captive against the extruded plastic * :: top cover assembly 6, and the top of the radiator in order to direct the stream of * convection heat in the require downwards direction, * Figure 3, shows a similar assembly to Figure 2, enclosed by a state of the art cabinet * which due to it providing protection all around removes the necessity for side * :* protective panels.
* :1 Figure 4, Top Sect A-A and Elevation shows a two piece telescopic cardboard * enclosure unit fully closed in the range of radiator widths of the same height catered for, used for the smallest width radiator comprising of a left hand section 1, located and partly supported on left hand support bracket 3, with the left hand section 1, sliding inside right hand section 2, which is located and partly supported on right hand support bracket 4..
Bottom Sect B-B and Elevation shows the two piece telescopic cardboard enclosure unit fully open. Enlarged Sect D-D shows the leading vertical sliding edge of the inside of section 1, together with the mating leading vertical sliding edge of section 2, can be bent completely over as shown in enlarged sect D-D which will act as a stop when they slide and come into contact with each other which prevent over-extension of the unit.
Figure 5, Top Sect A-A and Elevation show a three piece telescopic cardboard enclosure unit fully closed in a greater range of radiator widths of the same height catered for, used for the smallest width radiator comprising of a left hand section 1, located and partly supported on left hand support bracket 3, with the left hand section 1, sliding inside right hand section 2, which is located and partly supported on right hand support bracket 4, with an additional central section 5, which slides inside section 1, and section 2, Bottom Sect B-B and Elevation shows the three piece telescopic cardboard enclosure unit fully open. Enlarged Sect E-E shows the leading vertical sliding edge of the inside of section 1, together with the mating leading vertical sliding edge of middle section 5, which are bent completely over as shown and which will act as a stop when they slide and come into contact with each other similarly with Sect F-F which shows the leading vertical sliding edge of the inside of section 2, together with the other sliding edge of middle section 5, which will act as a stop and which prevent over-extension of the unit.
Due to the pressure exerted by the insulating material the cardboard enclosures will flex outwards but this will not be detrimental to the function of the unit. * * **** *
