Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a space heater of the ventilation type.
- Nowadays in the field of space heating, wall-mounted gas-powered fan coil units are known, which are constituted by a burner assembly facing toward a combustion chamber followed by a labyrinth-like heat exchange duct, adapted to the thermal dissipation of the heat of the gases produced by the combustion in outflow toward the exhaust.
- Generally, the heat exchange duct and the combustion chamber are externally finned in order to boost the thermal exchange with the air that flows over them externally.
- A fan is arranged outside the dissipator conduit and outside the combustion chamber, near the latter, in order to strike it with a flow of air drawn from the space to be heated and destined to be reintroduced back into the space after having flowed over the combustion chamber and the heat exchange duct, thus heating up.
- The burner assembly, the combustion chamber, the heat exchange duct and the fan are enclosed in a casing provided with ventilation windows adapted to allow an easy aspiration and rejection of the air to be recirculated in the space to be heated.
- The tension toward reducing the encumbrances of these devices, combined with the need to obtain a high heating power, has led persons skilled in the art to devise thin combustion chambers, in order to reduce the protrusion of the fan coil unit from the wall that supports it, and compact, labyrinth-like heat exchange ducts on the combustion chamber, in order to also contain the encumbrance crosswise to the wall supporting the device.
- The fan is of the drum type, with vanes curved forward, in order to provide a high flow of air with a low pressure increase, thus exhibiting a reduced encumbrance compared to other types of fan.
- Nowadays however the need to reduce the consumption of fuel is becoming increasingly urgent, including by increasing the efficiency of space heating devices.
- Another need that is becoming more and more of a priority is the need to reduce the pollutant substances introduced into the environment by the exhaust gases, by promoting a complete and correct combustion of the fuel/ oxidizer mixtures.
- In particular, the tension toward preventing the formation of nitrogen oxides, represented by the chemical formula NOx, goes against the consolidated practice of raising the combustion temperature, which is aimed at achieving a greater heat exchange for the same exchange surface of the combustion chamber and of the heat exchange duct.
- These new needs are therefore in conflict with the consolidated design biases in the field of fan-based space heating devices.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide an air-circulation space heating device that makes it possible to achieve thermal exchange efficiencies that are higher than the fan coil units known today.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a heating device that makes it possible to prevent the formation of nitrogen oxides.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a heating device that exhibits a lower environmental impact than the fan coil units known today.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a heating device that is quieter in operation than the fan coil units known today.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a heating device that is longer lasting than the fan coil units known today.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a heating device that is structurally simple and easy to use, and which can be implemented at low cost.
- This aim, as well as these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a space heater of the ventilation type, characterized in that it comprises a casing and an exchanger body which encloses a combustion chamber and is at least partially internal to said casing, said casing enclosing, below said exchanger body, a heating pre-chamber for the air to be heated, which opens onto a heating chamber arranged above it, said heating chamber being defined between said casing and said exchanger body, there being provided means for aspirating the air from the outside of said casing into said heating pre-chamber and a burner assembly, which is connected in a lower portion to said exchanger body in order to be cooled by ventilation by said suction means.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the detailed description that follows of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of the heating device according to the invention, which is illustrated for the purposes of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a view of a simplified diagram of a heating device, according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a partial view of a heating device, according to the invention; -

reference numeral 10 generally designates a space heater of the ventilation type, which, according to the invention, has a peculiarity in that it comprises acasing 11 and anexchanger body 12 that encloses acombustion chamber 13 by defining it internally. - The
exchanger body 12 is inside thecasing 11, this enclosing, below theexchanger body 12, a heating pre-chamber 14, for the air to be heated, which opens onto aheating chamber 15 for the air to be heated, arranged above it. - The

casing 11. - Advantageously, the
casing 11 is substantially column-shaped and accommodates, in a portion thereof which is the upper one duringuse 18, theexchanger body 12, theheating chamber 15 being defined as an interspace between theupper portion 18 and theexchanger body 12. - The
upper portion 18 is conveniently open in an upper portion, being conveniently provided withwindows 19 to discharge the air that during use flows out of theheating chamber 15. - The
exchanger body 12 is preferably surrounded by theupper portion 18 of thecasing 11, theheating chamber 15 being annular with respect to theexchanger body 12. - The particular column shape, wherein the
exchanger body 12 is central to theheating chamber 15 and inside thecasing 11 so as to be, during use, conveniently completely surrounded by the air to be heated which flows over it, makes it possible to make thecombustion chamber 13 wide so as to obtain a mixture of the gas combusting with the oxidizing air that is more effective than the devices known today, furthermore enabling the temperature of combustion to be kept relatively low so as to prevent or limit the formation of NOx while still achieving high coefficients of thermal exchange between theexchanger body 12 and the air to be heated by means of the surface of theexchanger body 12 exposed thereto, which increases, virtuously, with the increase in size of the combustion chamber designed. - Furthermore, the high efficiency of the combustion thus achieved makes it possible to also limit the formation of carbon monoxide, represented by the chemical formula CO, to the advantage of the safety and low environmental impact of a heating device according to the invention.
- Conveniently, the
exchanger body 12 is provided withexternal fins 20 protruding into theheating chamber 15, in order to achieve a more efficient thermal exchange. - In particular, the
fins 20 are preferably further provided withopenings 21 anddeflector flaps 22 adapted to impart to the air that flows over them a turbulent and vortical motion around theexchanger body 12. - The
exchanger body 12 has an inner dividingwall 23 which defines - the
combustion chamber 13 in a lower portion, and - in an upper portion, a
recovery chamber 24 for the heat of the combustion gases, theinternal wall 23 being open, preferably by havingholes 25 in a peripheral region, in order to allow the passage of the combustion gases from thecombustion chamber 13 to theheat recovery chamber 24. - The
casing 11 conveniently has abottom 26 which delimits, below the heating pre-chamber 14, asuction chamber 27, which is open perimetrically in order to draw air from the surrounding environment, for example by havingperimetric slits 28. - The
bottom 26 conveniently has aport 29 for the passage of air from thesuction chamber 27 to the heating pre-chamber 14, the suction means 16 being connected to theport 29 in order to force the passage of air through it, during use. - Advantageously, the suction means 16 comprise a
centrifugal fan 30 of the type with vanes curved backward, which furthermore is quieter than the drum fans used in the fan coil units known today. - In addition, a
device 31 is conveniently provided for controlling theburner assembly 17 and the suction means 16, to which it is connected in order to modulate the heating thermal power produced by theheating device 10, selectively according to a predefined program or a command of an operator. - For this purpose, for example, the
control device 31 can comprise an inverter to actuate themotor 32 of thecentrifugal fan 30 in order to modulate its rotation torque as a function of the flow and pressure of air to be heated by passing through theheating chamber 15. - The
control device 31 is preferably accommodated in thesuction chamber 27 in order to be cooled by the air sucked through it during use. - The
burner assembly 17 conveniently comprises a pre-mixer of combustible gas with combustion air, of a type that is known per se and not shown in the accompanying figures. - Furthermore, the

- Such set of fins can, according to the contingent requirements, for example extend vertically and helically in the heat recovery chamber.
- In a different embodiment of the heating device according to the invention, particularly adapted to be used outdoors or in spaces that are preferably ventilated, the
discharge duct 34 conveniently comprises aterminal 35 that is open inside thecasing 11, and specifically in theheating chamber 15. - More specifically, the
terminal 35 conveniently extends in the opposite direction to the flow of the air being heated A in theheating chamber 15, illustrated for the purposes of non-limiting example inFigure 3 with an arrow with an undulating line. - Furthermore, the
terminal 35 hasopenings 36 that are covered by adeflector 37 that is adapted to deflect, in the same direction as the direction of flow of the air being heated A, the combustion gases B, illustrated for the purposes of example inFigure 3 with arrows with dotted lines. - In this way, the air being heated A, which flows over the
deflector 37 externally, gives rise to a depression effect, known in the field of fluid dynamics as the Venturi effect, which sucks the gases B into theheating chamber 15. - Operation of a
heating device 10, according to the invention, is the following. - The
control device 31 commands the suction means 16 to draw air from the surrounding environment, passing through theslits 28, then thesuction chamber 27 and thecentrifugal fan 30, from which it is sucked through theport 29 and introduced into the heating pre-chamber 14 thus giving it a pressure that is adapted to determine the flow required for the programmed thermal heating power. - Furthermore, the control device actuates the

heating device 10, with arrows with dash-dot lines, and - the path of the products of the combustion in the
heating device 10, with arrows with dotted lines. - In practice it has been found that the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects by providing an air-circulation space heating device that makes it possible to achieve thermal exchange efficiencies that are higher than conventional fan coil units, while also making it possible to make the combustion chamber wider.
