Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a modular outer construction case structure for a convector heater that is, in addition to being used in residential and other building applications, used for heating interiors of vehicles in particular, that comprises, based on differences in manufacturing, double surface or both surfaces (one flat, one with a pattern) of which have different patterns and that constitutes the configurations of single and multiplex (hybrid) systems of all types of fan coil units, air curtains, electric convectors, water convectors, floor convectors, etc., and that enables manufacturing convectors of desired length, width, depth or variety, either in superimposed or side-by-side configuration based on differences in production by means of aluminum upper cover profile (1), aluminum main body profile (2), aluminum middle profile (3), aluminum intermediate profile (4), aluminum stand profile (5), and lock tabs that engage one another from corresponding portions of said profiles.

State of the Art

Heating systems that are currently in use in the state of the art may basically be categorized as constructions composed of direct electric or central heat sources along with the conduction systems and elements coupled thereto. In such systems, the conduction of heat is performed through oil or water.

In the state of the art, various types of panel radiators, which feature high heat transfer capabilities, are fixed to walls and used efficiently for heating the independent sections of buildings, operate with hot water and accordingly, require an appropriate infrastructure installation.

Such systems, despite fulfilling the function of heating in the most conventional sense, imply certain disadvantages such as high costs, difficulties in installation, and volume.

Most of the known construction configuration types of heaters that form the outer construction of oil-filled electric radiators and that emit heat to the environment once a heat transfer oil, which is circulated therein by being heated via a resistor, heats up the core sections of the radiator aims to circulate the heat transfer oil as homogeneously as possible in the core sections of the radiator, the surface temperature of the radiator is in rather close values on all points of the outer surface of the core sections. Therefore, the temperature at the edges of the of the core sections, which are the parts that users may potentially come into contact with directly, reach up to rather high values in an operational radiator. However, modern standards (EN and TSI), as acknowledged with regards to such devices, limit the surface temperatures of the parts, which users may come into contact with directly, to "85 °C + ambient temperature".

Keeping the surface temperatures of the outer construction core sections of the heaters of the type described above at values put forth in the respective standards is possible only through operating the radiator at a capacity that is lower than the radiator's normal capacity. This, in turn, means that the radiator would perform poorly and operate inefficiently.

Despite the fact that the amount of oil used in such heaters and the sheet metal thickness are factors that affect the manufacturing costs directly, it does not seem likely for the radiators available in the state of the art to utilize less oil and thinner sheet metal. These are affected by certain restrictions. "Oil breakdown temperature" is the first among the restrictions that determine the amount of oil used in available radiators. The amount of oil must be exceedingly high in order to prevent the oil contained inside the radiator from readily reaching this temperature.

For instance, the amount of oil used for a 1500 Watt radiator with eight core sections is approximately 4.5 liters. Oil-filled radiators generate pressure as the oil contained inside the oil channels heats up and expands. Sheet metals of core sections are attached to one other by means of "spot welding" in the circumference of said oil channels so that radiators known to comprise more than one interconnected oil channels in core sections can withstand the generated pressure without becoming swollen. Therefore, the thickness of the sheet metal used therein should be at least 0.6 mm due to said pressure. Welding points in the product become swollen and burst in case a thinner sheet metal is used. Considering the example give above, it can be observed that the required amount of sheet metal is more than 10 kg for a thickness of 0.6 mm. In some types of novel oil-filled radiator constructions, which are developed as a result of the requirements imposed by applicable standards, shapes of core sections have been altered with the aim of reducing the heat transfer between the oil channels and the outer edges which may be contacted directly.

Consequently, the fact that oil-filled panel radiators with core sections and other radiator varietals of different types and volumes require significant investments in molds, existing difficulties in manufacturing steps and the inadequacy of available solutions necessitated to introduce and improvement into the technical field related to outer constructions of radiators and convectors.
