Abstract
Abstract A system for tempering a room is accommodated in a closure of said room, preferably in the floor. On the side of the closure facing away from the room an insulating plate (103) is located, which possibly has projections (18) arranged in the direction of the room. On the side facing the room a wall or floor covering (6) is foreseen. In the interspace between the insulating plate (103) and the outer layer (6), possibly between the projections (18), air can be circulated and a heating and/or cooling line (1) extends, said heating and/or cooling line being at least partially in connection with a thermal conductive sheet (17). The total surface of the thermal conductive sheet (17) exposed to the air flow is about twice as large at the surface of the thermal conductive sheet (17) which directly envelopes or contacts the line (1) and which is exposed to the air flow. The interspace is especially defined by a box section (17, 102) consisting preferably of several parts, of which one as a thermal conductive sheet (17) partially envelopes the line (1).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
In an installation for tempering a room of a building, a wall defining said room and comprising an outer layer facing said room, an inner layer looking away from said room, an interspace between said inner and outer layers, elongated tempering means within said interspace, spacing wall means disposed between the inner and outer layers on opposite sides of the tempering means, thermal conductive sheet means extending between said spacing wall means to be supported by said inner layer in thermal conductive connection with said outer layer, thereby bridging said interspace and defining, at least in part, a conduit for conveying air at one side of said interspace which faces said inner layer, said sheet means including a first surface section being in thermal conductive connection with said tempering means, and a second surface section exposed to the air conveyed within said conduit, said second surface section having a surface area at least twice the surface area of said first surface section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
162 words
In an installation for tempering a room of a building, a wall defining said room and comprising an outer layer facing said room, an inner layer looking away from said room, an interspace between said inner and outer layers, elongated tempering means within said interspace, spacing wall means disposed between the inner and outer layers on opposite sides of the tempering means, thermal conductive sheet means extending between said spacing wall means to be supported by said inner layer in thermal conductive connection with said outer layer, thereby bridging said interspace and defining, at least in part, a conduit for conveying air at one side of said interspace which faces said inner layer, said sheet means including a first surface section being in thermal conductive connection with said tempering means, and a second surface section exposed to the air conveyed within said conduit, said second surface section having a surface area at least twice the surface area of said first surface section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
An installation as claimed in claim 1, wherein said sheet means comprise means defining a box section of substantially rectangular cross section defining at least partly said conduit and receiving said elongated tempering means, the larger dimension of said box section rectangular in cross section being parallel to said inner and outer layers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
An installation as claimed in claim 2, wherein said means defining a box section are composed of at least two separate parts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
An installation as claimed in claim 3, wherein said box section comprises an inner part to be arranged adjacent said inner layer, and an outer part to be arranged adjacent said outer layer, said inner and outer parts being joined together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
An installation as claimed in claim 2, further comprising positive connection means on said means defining a box section.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
An installation as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interspace comprises first channel means at least partly defined by said sheet means and housing said elongated tempering means, and second channel means conveying air and being thermal conductive connection with said sheet means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
An installation as claimed in claim 6, wherein said second channel means extend across said elongated tempering means and have a larger cross-sectional area than the latters.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
An installation as claimed in claim 7, wherein said elongated tempering means are bent back within said second channel means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
An installation as claimed in claim 1, wherein said interspace has at least one orifice within said building for air circulation.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
26 words
An installation as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means forming an interspace comprise means defining a groove for receiving and holding said elongated tempering means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
41 words
An installation as claimed in claim 1, wherein the distance between the inner and the outer layer is essentially equal to or only slightly deviating from the transverse dimension of the tempering means measured in the direction of the wall thickness.
