Abstract:
A reduced profile electric baseboard heater has an elongated, sheet metal shell, having top, upper floor, front, back, and lower floor sections defining a cabinet, the plane of the front and back being substantially parallel, the upper floor slanting downwardly from the back to the front, a removable end cap on each end of the shell, the plane of the lower floor in geometric association with the plane of the upper floor and front defining an electrical raceway, and the top, front, back and upper floor defining a heater element cavity overlying the raceway. A removable cover having floor, back and end walls is positioned in the raceway and encloses a portion thereof. An electric heating element positioned in the heater element cavity is controlled by a thermostat located in the raceway and enclosed by the cover.
Abstract:
A building module for a ceiling having heating elements incorporated therein. The module has the form of a closed unit which can be individually mounted and removed and which comprises a frame and plates arranged on two opposite sides thereof. Heat-emitting elements are protectively arranged in the space defined by said frame and said plates and element connecting means are accessible from outside the unit and are arranged, when a unit is mounted together with other similar units to permit the elements to be connected to the intended supply source via other units located between the source and said one unit. The unit is so constructed that when mounting the same in position adjacent a similar unit there is formed a downwardly open channel between the units which channel is intended to be closed by means of a separate cover member.
Abstract:
An extruded back panel is adapted to be mounted to a wall so as to extend horizontally and in closely spaced relationship to the floor. The panel has integrally formed channels for slidably receiving projecting flanges provided for this purpose on longitudinally spaced support brackets located intermediate the end portions of the elongated heating element, or on utility boxes provided at either end of the elongated heating element. Each bracket is slotted to receive the elongated heating element intermediate the end portions of said element. The back panel defines a conduit channel which communicates with the utility boxes. Two versions of a front panel or enclosure are described, one of which provides for a top grille portion to be integrally formed with the front panel, and the other has a separate top grille portion connected to one or more of the underlying support brackets and to a rearwardly projecting flange on the front panel itself. The version with the front panel defining the top grille portion is U-shaped and also includes a lower opening defining leg along the lower edge of the front panel. The rear marginal portion of the lower leg of the U defines a depending flange received in the lower channel of the back panel.
Abstract:
A heat-emitting radiator supplied with electrical energy and preferably capable of co-acting with two holding means in conjunction with a radiator-supporting means, such as a wall. The holding means associated with the radiator comprise a first rail preferably having current-conducting means, and a second rail. One or more cassettes being insertable between the rails. Each cassette has a contact means for cooperating with the contact rail. Each cassette is further arranged to be inserted in the first rail and the second rail in a first position of rotation. The cassette is arranged to be held in the rails in a second position of rotation.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a convector heater for use in buildings, constituted of columns, wherein each column constituted by a section comprises a pipe in which a fluid circulates and which is integral with heat exchange ribs, said heating columns being connected at their ends by means of a separate collector acting as fluid distributor and means of assembly between several colums.
Abstract:
A baseboard heater has a laterally narrow elongated finned electric heater positioned in a common airflow passage defined between the front wall and backwall of a baseboard convector housing. The airflow passage extends past the heater from a common air inlet below the heater to a main hot air outlet above the heater. An auxiliary airflow passage is provided, communicating at one end with the common airflow passage behind and above the heater, and opening at its other end above the main hot air outlet and forwardly of the heater. The auxiliary airflow passage is defined between a baffle integral with the front wall and having a forwardly and downwardly directed mouth section and a wall behind the baffle extending in forwardly and upwardly diverging relation to the baffle. A forwardly extending embossment, coextensive in height and length with the heater is provided on the backwall to narrow the main airflow passage.
Abstract:
A kind of radiating floor board is disclosed which radiates heat. The floor board has a stratified structure comprising a metallic surface plate, a depressed metallic tube for hot water circulation located meanderingly under the plate, a heat insulating material and a base board.
Abstract:
This invention is a heating and cooling wall panel that accomplishes heating by radiating to bodies in a space thermal energy from a source of warmed water delivered to the panel at low pressure, and cools bodies in a space by absorbing thermal energy radiated to the panel from those bodies and passing the heat thus gained to a cooled fluid also delivered at low pressure. The heat transfer by this panel is accomplished when only small temperature differentials exist between the fluid and the space owing to the extreme thinness of the radiating-cum-absorbing panel face.
Abstract:
A heated door is formed by two wooden face panels rendered fire-resistant, which are spaced apart by laths which define flues at the base of which are arranged one or more electrical heating elements. Openings are formed in the upper part and the lower part of each of the two face panels and into them are fitted deflectors or they are blocked by covers which are connected to the deflectors by screws. Arrangements are made for supplying power to and regulating the door and making it safe to use.This type of door is usable in dwelling or work spaces.
Abstract:
A uni-directional valve arrangement placed in a predetermined location between a habitable enclosure and a heating or cooling system which is exposed to outdoor temperatures prevents air of undesirable temperature in the system from passing into the enclosure by gravity flow.
