[0001] The present invention relates to an arrangement for improving ventilation indoors,
which allows air flow from an air device to be preheated and distributed.
Background of the invention
[0002] Many dwellings that were built a number of years ago are largely equipped with ventilation
systems of the natural draught or mechanical air discharge type. In these systems
air is extracted from kitchens, toilets and bathrooms. Replacement air is taken in
directly from outside via slit vents and fissures in the façade. Over time, the insulation
of façades, etc., in a large number of buildings has been improved. This has meant
that houses have become more impervious, thereby leading to a considerable deterioration
in ventilation.
[0003] On the other hand, mechanical air discharge has in recent years become the most common
method of ventilation in dwellings. This relies on so-called outside air devices,
which both filter and heat the outside air before it is delivered to the dwelling.
This type of air device is fitted behind a radiator or the like and uses this as heat
source for heating the outside air. Air devices are installed virtually throughout
in all new buildings.
[0004] DE 20218457 U shows an example of such an outside air device, which is fitted behind a radiator
and reveals all the features of the preamble of claim 1.
[0005] In older property it is often both difficult and expensive to improve the ventilation
by means of efficient air devices, since the air devices comprise a complete unit
made of sheet metal. The (overall) depth of the air devices varies as does their minimum
height behind the radiator.
[0006] In order to be able to fit these air devices without removing the radiator there
must be at least 22-30 mm clearance between radiator and wall. Since the air devices
must be lowered from the top between radiator and wall, there must not be any window-sill
in the way. It is not feasible to insert these air devices from the side, since the
radiator bracket gets in the way.
[0007] Since older radiators are usually fitted less than 22-30 mm from the wall and there
is also often a window-sill, it is necessary to remove the radiator in order to be
able to fit the outside air device. This necessitates extensive installation work.
First the radiator system has to be drained and the radiators in question removed.
After making holes in the façade wall, the outside air device is fitted to the wall.
The radiator must then be fixed to its brackets. In cases where it is necessary to
increase the distance between radiator and wall, the pipework connection to the radiator
will not fit. The pipes coming up from the floor or running along the wall then have
to be bent so that these can be coupled to the radiator. Bending old pipes is not
to be recommended since cracking can easily occur leading to problems of leakage.
[0008] There is a need for an arrangement that will solve the aforementioned problems so
as to be able to improve the indoor ventilation without the need for major intervention
in existing installations...
Summary of the invention
[0009] An object of the present invention is to partially or entirely solve the aforementioned
problems by providing an arrangement which:
- improves indoor ventilation,
- allows incoming air to be heated and distributed,
- facilitates the fitting of an air device behind a radiator without having to remove
either the radiator or the window-sill, and
- affords the facility for adjusting the air device to the height of the radiator.
[0010] According to the present invention this object is achieved by an arrangement for
fitting between a wall and a radiator arranged on a wall in order to improve the indoor
ventilation, which arrangement will allow an air flow to be heated and distributed
and which has the characterising features specified in claim 1 below, with preferred
embodiments being set forth in the dependent claims.
[0011] The arrangement according to the invention is characterised in that it comprises
a first part and a second part which are joined by a flexible duct made of a flexible
material selected from a group comprising textile, rubber, rubberised fabric, film,
or fibrous material.
[0012] Some advantages of the present invention are that the air device improves indoor
ventilation and allows incoming air to be heated and distributed. It is easy to fit
the air devices behind a radiator without having to remove either the radiator or
the window-sill, and the fact that the duct can be made to the desired length without
affecting other functions makes it possible to adjust the air device to the height
of the radiator.
[0013] According to one embodiment the first part is a filter box for filtering said air
flow from an air inlet to the duct and having a filter hatch for changing the filter.
The fact that the air flow contains particles such as pollutants and many different
types of pollen means that for many people there is a great need to be able to filter
out such substances which present problems, primarily for allergy sufferers but also
for the public at large. With the present invention the incoming air flow is filtered
at an early stage and it is very easy to change filters and when necessary to clean
the filter device.
[0014] According to one embodiment the second part comprises at least one expeller opening
for expelling the air flow towards the radiator, the expeller opening moreover being
designed to guide the air flow along the rear side of the radiator, which heats the
incoming air flow and prevents cold draughts along the floor.
[0015] The arrangement is designed so that the incoming air flow is delivered at high velocity
and is angled upwards behind the radiator.
[0016] A high velocity is important in order to prevent the cold air in wintertime "dropping"
down below the radiator due to the high density of the air. If this should happen
it results in cold draughts along the floor. Another important effect achieved by
a high velocity delivered air flow is that the air flow then also expels the indoor
air, that is to say it entrains the indoor air in proximity to the lower parts of
the radiator. This means that warm indoor air mixes effectively with the cold outside
air, which means that the temperature of the mixed air flow increases. This effect
is particularly important in autumn and in spring when the temperature of the outside
air may be low whilst the heating system is not in operation. During the heating period
the air flow is also heated by the hot radiator. It is also important that the air
flow be allowed scope for proper warming by the radiator in that the air flow blows
out towards the lower parts of the radiator. It is not effective, for example, to
use an air device 230 mm behind a radiator which is 600 mm high. Since the arrangement
according to the present invention allows the air flow to blow out against the lower
parts of the radiator, this provides efficient heating of the outside air, since the
air flow is forced to flow such a long distance along the radiator.
[0017] According to a preferred embodiment the flexible duct is a substantially airtight
fabric and the second part is suspended behind the radiator in the duct and the duct
is suspended behind the radiator in the first part. This solves the problem of fitting
an air device behind a radiator without having to remove either the radiator or the
window-sill. This affords the advantage that the arrangement can be applied without
the need to remove the radiator and the weight of the second part keeps the duct taut
and in place.

Description of preferred embodiments
[0019] The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the schematic
drawings which show an embodiment of the present invention. The arrangement according
to the present invention comprises three parts assembled into one unit. The arrangement
has a depth, also known to the person skilled in the art as the overall depth, of
approximately 17 mm, which corresponds to the minimum dimension encountered between
radiator and wall. Its height behind the radiator is adjusted so that the largest
possible proportion of the radiator is utilised.
[0020] The first part 1 is referred to as a filter box. Fitted in this is a replaceable
filter 10. When changing filters a filter hatch 6, which may be insulated against
condensation, is undone, providing access to the filter. When the filter is removed
there is a free passage out to the incoming air duct (in the façade wall). This can
then easily be cleaned from indoors. A flexible and substantially airtight duct 3
is arranged in the lower edge of the filter box. The term substantially airtight means
that the greater part of the air flow passes through the duct. The material for the
duct can also be selected so that a minor leakage is permitted, which cannot be deemed
to affect the functioning of the duct, however. It is intended that the duct material
be selected according to requirements, a flexible material being chosen, that is to
say a material such as textile, rubber, rubberised fabric, film, fibrous material.
[0021] Arranged at the other end of the flexible duct 3 is a second part 2, which may also
be known to the person skilled in the art as an expeller. The term expeller relates
to a nozzle for blowing the air flow out and directing it, and which can be varied
according to requirements. Other variants with equivalent characteristics may be used,
however. The second part 2 is designed so that the incoming air flow is delivered
at high velocity and is angled upwards behind a radiator 5.
[0022] A high velocity is important in order to prevent the cold air in wintertime "dropping"
down below the radiator 5 (due to the high density of the air). If this should happen
it results in cold draughts along the floor. Another important effect achieved by
a high velocity of the delivered air flow is that the air flow then also expels the
indoor air. This means that warm indoor air mixes effectively with the cold outside
air, which means that the temperature of the mixed air flow increases. This effect
is particularly important in autumn and in spring when the temperature of the outside
air may be low whilst the heating system is not in operation. During the heating period
the air flow is naturally also heated by the hot radiator 5
[0023] The design of the air device, with the duct 3 of flexible material, makes it possible
to adjust the height of the air device so that the outside air is at all times delivered
to the lower edge of the radiator 5. In order to utilise the space behind the radiator
5 and to obtain the maximum possible effect, the duct 3 has an elongated cross-section.
[0024] Using an air device which is half the height of the radiator 5 behind which it is
located, for example, is not effective. It is better if the outdoor air delivered
is at all times delivered down behind the radiator 5 and is heated by the radiator
5 over the longest possible distance. This affords effective heating of the outside
air since the air flow is forced to flow further along the radiator 5.
[0025] In order to facilitate cleaning of the duct 3, it is secured in such a way that it
can readily be removed, see below for a more detailed description of the removal of
the duct 3. The duct 3 can be cleaned or replaced with a new one. In addition, the
filter box 1 and the second part 2 can also be cleaned, for example, in a dishwasher,
manually or by any other suitable method, so as to thereby clean the affected parts.
[0026] The first part 1, the filter box, comprises a box, the front side of which has an
opening 7 in order to permit installation and changing of filters. The filter box
1 further more has a rear side which bears against a house wall which is provided
with holes for the incoming air. In order to allow the incoming air to flow into the
filter box 1 there is also at least one opening 8 on the rear side of the box against
the house wall. In the rear wall of the filter box 1 there are holes 13 for fitting
the filter box 1 to the house wall. There are preferably just two holes 13 with corresponding
notches in the filter box 1 in order to allow screws to be fixed in the house wall,
on to which the filter box 1 is then firmly hooked and slipped down so that the screws
are carried along the notches, the screws then be properly tightened. Between the
rear side of the filter box 1 and the house wall there is a sealing strip (not shown)
for sealing between the filter box 1 and the house wall. The sealing strip prevents
air from percolating out between the filter box 1 and the house wall. The opening
8 at the rear of the filter box 1 is somewhat over-dimensioned, the opening 8 being
extra wide and high, in order to make the filter box 1 easier to install and adjust
to the holes made in the house wall. It is possible to open up a number of holes in
the house wall and the holes are not restricted to a particular size. However, the
holes must be accommodated within the boundary of the rear opening 8 of the filter
box.
[0027] This also allows any existing openings left by slit vents to be used, these usually
being wide and narrow (low). The wide opening 8 on the rear side of the filter box
1, however, allows the filter box 1 also to be used for these openings.
[0028] The filter hatch 6 for closing the front opening 7 of the filter box 1 is arranged
at the front of the filter box 1. This means that the incoming air coming from the
holes in the house wall is guided downwards towards the duct 3 and on to the second
part 2. The filter hatch 6 also allows the filter 10 to be replaced or cleaned, as
required.
[0029] The filter box 1 is furthermore open at the bottom, where the duct 3 is intended
to be fixed. The opening at the bottom allows the incoming air to flow towards the
duct 3 and onwards to the second part 2, which is fixed to the other end of the duct
3. Where the filter box 1 opens to the duct 3, two of the longitudinal sides of the
filter box 1 are preferably angled towards the front and rear side respectively of
the filter box 1, which allows the duct 3 to be fixed to the filter box 1. Two grooves
with rails reinforcing the grooves are correspondingly formed on the duct 3. In order
to secure the duct 3, the reinforced grooves of the duct 3 are bent backwards and
pressed into the hooks formed by the backward angled parts 12 of the filter box 1.
[0030] The first opening of the duct 3 is fixed to the lower opening of the filter box 1
and the second part 2 is accordingly fixed to the second opening of the duct 3 in
the same way, using the same technique with which the duct 3 and the filter box 1
are connected to one another. It is possible to vary the height of the duct 3, that
is to say the distance between the filter box 1 and the second part 2, so that the
overall height of the filter device according to the present invention is adjusted
according to the varying radiator heights encountered. Certain heights of radiators
5 are more common than others, however, which means that a standard height of air
device will suffice for most radiator heights. For special designs of radiators 5
it is consequently very easy to adapt the air device to the height of the radiator
5 by using a suitable height for the duct 3.
[0031] In order to dismantle the duct 3, that is to say to release the duct 3 from the filter
box 1 and the second part 2, the ends of the duct 3 are respectively pulled or pushed
towards the filter box or the second part 2. This causes the reinforced grooves of
the duct 3 to be released from the hooks formed by the backwards angled part 12 of
the filter box 1 and the backward angled part 9 of the second part 2. When the grooves
are released from the backward angled parts 9, 12, the reinforced grooves are bent
outwards making it possible to pull the duct 3 free from the filter box 1 and the
second part 2.
[0032] The second part 2 has an opening 11 to the duct 3 and said backward angled parts
9 for fixing the second part 2 to the duct 3. The second part 2 also comprises at
least one opening 4, an expeller, which is angled in order to allow the air flow from
the duct 3 to be discharged towards the radiator 5 away from the floor and upwards.
In this way the air flow is guided for a longer distance along the radiator 5, so
that it is heated to the desired temperature and assumes a reduced velocity when the
air flow leaves the radiator upwards and out into the room in which the air device
and the radiator 5 are located. The second part 2 preferably comprises two or more
openings 4, so as to be able to guide the air flow between the panels of radiators
having double panels or triple panels. It is also possible to use collapsible expellers
so as to be able to adjust the angles at which the air flow is guided and also to
allow an opening 4 to be completely closed.
Installation is performed as follows:
[0033] If the radiator 5 is not to be removed:
- 1. Make one or more holes (for example 1x85, 1x105, 2x55 or 3x55 mm) in the façade
wall above the radiator 5. There is no need to specially shape the holes. They may
be of any suitable format, for example angular or circular.
- 2. Fit a façade duct (in the façade wall) and façade grille.
- 3. The device according to the present invention is inserted down behind the radiator
5 (start with the part comprising the expeller). The weight of the second part 2 stretches
the duct 3 so that this hangs vertically. Note that there is no need to remove the
window-sill.
- 4. The filter box 1 with its two holes 13 and associated notches is suspended on screws
(2-off) previously fixed in the wall. Then tighten the screws so that the sealing
strip (not shown) of the filter box 1 is pressed against the wall.
- 5. Insert the filter into the filter box 1 and fit the filter hatch 6.
[0034] If the radiator 5 is to be removed because there is not space to make holes above
the radiator 5:
- 1. Make one or more holes (for example 1x85, 1x105, 2x55 or 3x55 mm) in the façade
wall behind the radiator 5. There is no need to specially shape the holes. They may
be of any suitable format, for example angular or circular.
- 2. Fit a façade duct (in the façade wall) and façade grille.
- 3. The device according to the present invention (the filter box 1) with its two holes
13 and associated notches is suspended on screws (2-off) previously fixed in the wall.
Then tighten the screws so that the sealing strip (not shown) of the filter box 1
is pressed against the wall. The weight of the second part 2 stretches the duct 3
so that this hangs vertically.
- 4. Insert the filter into the filter box 1 and fit the filter hatch 6.
[0035] The embodiment can be varied in different ways without departing from the scope of
the claims. It is possible, for example, for the duct 3 and the second, lower part
2 to comprise one integral unit, preferably made from one and the same material.
