Title: Improvements in or relating to Radiators for Heating Buildings and other purposes.
Inventor: FRANK HERMANN
IPC: F28D1/02
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1914-03-16
Abstract: 1204. Frank, H. Jan. 15. Heat radiators.-Radiators, whether heated by fuel, steam, or electricity, are constructed so that they store up a minimum amount of heat by (1) filling them with a liquid of low specific heat, preferably a chlorinated hydrocarbon, the liquid being enclosed so as to leave practically no space for vapour; (2) providing them with a large radiating area per unit of volume, for example, half a square metre per litre; and (3) maintaining the temperature of the liquid at less than 80‹ C. above that of the surrounding atmosphere. The heating-means is regulated so that the liquid does not reach its normal boiling-point, so that no heating-vapours are generated as described in Specification 20,241/11. The radiator is thus sensitive to regulation for compensating for change of temperature in the surrounding atmosphere. The following liquids are specifically mentioned as being capable of employment: trichlorethylene C2HCl3, carbon tetrachloride CCl4, dichlorine heptoxide Cl2O7, oxybromide of carbon COBr2' thiocarbonylchloride CSCl2, sulphuryl chloride SO2Cl2' chloroform CHCl3, thionylchloride SOCl2, tetrachlorethane C2H2Cl4, hexachlorethane C2Cl6, dibromethylene C2H4Br2, perchlorethylene C2Cl2, tribromethylene C2HBr3, and iso-amylbromide C5H11Br. Figs. 1 and la show an element of an electrically-heated radiator consisting of two tubes with their walls a, b of elliptic section enclosing a very small liquid space, in which is located a heating-resistance in the form of a coil c. Fig. 2a is a section through the element of a fuel or steam heated radiator, in which h represents a heating-flue or steam-pipe.
