Abstract

Abstract A radiator for heating installations comprises an external container consisting of component elements, and a heat exchanger which goes through the entire assembly of elements forming the radiator acting as the tie-beam which holds the elements together. A second tie beam is positioned in the upper part of the elements to hold them together. The finned tube which constitutes the heat exchanger, is provided with an internal coaxial tube, of length slightly smaller than the external tube. The primary heating fluid returns through the internal tube so that the supply of the fluid is carried out from a single extremity of the apparatus. Since the walls of the radiator are not subjected to high pressure, the radiator may be manufactured of material of modest mechanical resistance, for instance plastic material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 199 words
A radiator for heating installations with dual heat exchange which comprises a container partially filled with a fluid at atmospheric pressure, said fluid constituting the secondary fluid, a heat exchanger positioned within the container, the heat exchanger being filled with the fluid of a heating installation, an inlet for the fluid, said fluid being the primary fluid, whereby heat exchange occurs to the fluid in the interior of the radiator and between the fluid in the interior of the radiator and the external atmosphere, the external container consisting of a plurality of component elements, provided with shaped flanges, spaced apart from each other, the flanges being inserted one in the other, the heat exchanger being a finned tube, said finned tube being provided with an internal coaxial tube for the return of the primary fluid towards the inlet whereby the fluid is supplied to the finned tube by means of a connector which serves as inlet and outlet, said heat exchanger being arranged along the entire length of said container and constituting at least a tie beam going through and connecting said elements, and a second tie beam connecting the elements at the end opposite to the heat exchanger.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 199 words
A radiator for heating installations with dual heat exchange which comprises a container partially filled with a fluid at atmospheric pressure, said fluid constituting the secondary fluid, a heat exchanger positioned within the container, the heat exchanger being filled with the fluid of a heating installation, an inlet for the fluid, said fluid being the primary fluid, whereby heat exchange occurs to the fluid in the interior of the radiator and between the fluid in the interior of the radiator and the external atmosphere, the external container consisting of a plurality of component elements, provided with shaped flanges, spaced apart from each other, the flanges being inserted one in the other, the heat exchanger being a finned tube, said finned tube being provided with an internal coaxial tube for the return of the primary fluid towards the inlet whereby the fluid is supplied to the finned tube by means of a connector which serves as inlet and outlet, said heat exchanger being arranged along the entire length of said container and constituting at least a tie beam going through and connecting said elements, and a second tie beam connecting the elements at the end opposite to the heat exchanger.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
The radiator according to claim 1 wherein at least one lid is provided with a plug for filling the radiator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
The radiator according to claim 2 wherein the plug is provided with an air valve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
The radiator according to claim 2 wherein the heat exchanger is provided with a valve on the plug communicating with the radiator to allow filling the radiator with the same fluid of the heat exchanger.
