  • Publication number: 20140199055
    Abstract: A radiator with reduced thermal inertia, based on the principle of phase changing, using a non-toxic, non-flammable fluid with reduced environmental impact. The radiator is provided by means of vertical pipes which engage a collector containing a pipe bundle-type exchanger with smooth or finned pipes, internally crossed by the thermo-vector fluid of the system, and which heat the intermediate vector fluid, bringing it to the biphasic state. The vector fluid evaporates, rising up the vertical pipes, flowing through the channels obtained in the extruded profiles of the vertical pipes themselves. The fluid re-descends, condensing on the walls, returning into contact with the hot pipes of the exchanger in order to re-evaporate and rise back up the vertical pipes. The film of condensed liquid provides the required heat exchange.

  • Patent number: 8750692
    Abstract: Electric air heater, in particular for electrical domestic appliances, comprising at least one heating element (20) provided with an insulated supporting element (21) on which at least one resistance wire (22) is wound. An electrical connector (17) clamps, with at least one electrical pin (18), said at least one heating element (20), tapping at least one end of said resistance wire (22). The electrical connections of a thermostat (15) and/or a thermistor (14) are made by means of electrical tracks (16) formed directly on a surface (25) of housing (13) to which said thermostat (15) and/or thermistor (14) are attached. Said electrical connector (17) clamps said surface (25) with at least one further electrical pin.

  • Patent number: 8023808
    Abstract: A device for transferring heat to a fluid with a heat generator comprising an electric resistance inserted in a first pipe integrally connected to a second pipe in which the fluid flows. The second pipe may comprise a steel tube coaxially inserted inside. First and second pipes are obtained inside a single block by means of an extrusion process.
