  • Heat exchanger panel for controlling the temperature of a room
    Patent number: 12560354
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger panel comprising a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has a medium line for conducting a heat exchange medium from a medium inlet to a medium outlet and a heat-conducting heat exchanger wall which is connected to the medium line, and the heat exchanger wall forms an interface facing a space which can be brought to a lower temperature than a heat load. At least one surface element is arranged between the boundary surface and the room, which is at least partially permeable to heat radiation and virtually impermeable to air, so that a virtually airtight intermediate space is formed between the boundary surface and the surface element.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for air-conditioning a room
    Patent number: 10371398
    Abstract: A device for air-conditioning a room may be provided comprising at least one heat sink having at least one boundary surface facing the room, which can be brought to a temperature that is reduced in relation to the heat load, wherein at least one surface element is arranged between the boundary surface and the room, said surface element being at least partially permeable to heat radiation. A method may be provided for air-conditioning a room comprising at least one heat sink having at least one boundary surface facing the room, which is brought to a temperature that is reduced in relation to the heat load, wherein at least one surface element is arranged between the boundary surface and the room, said surface element being at least partially permeable to heat radiation.
