Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for heating at least a vehicle driven by a combustion engine, such as a bus, a van, a truck, a motorcar, a working machine or like, whereby a resistance arrangement or like is being used, that exploits during use of the vehicle electric energy produced by the electric system of the vehicle, such as a generator and/or an accumulator belonging to the same, and that has been built into the vehicle's upholstery, such as to the bottom, the walls/doors, the ceiling and/or like of the vehicle and, by which at least one or several internal surfaces of the vehicle are being warmed up.
- a combustion engine such as a bus, a van, a truck, a motorcar, a working machine or like
- seat heaters for heating the vehicle during driving the same.
- This kind of electric seat heaters that are built into the seat upholstery belong gene- rally to the vehicle's original equipment, but such may also be acquired as supplementary accessories to be installed afterwards either inside the seat upholstery or on top of the same .
- a usual seat heater operates usually so, that it may be switched on by a separate operating switch, whereafter it automatically gets switched off when the temperature of the seat has risen above a certain limit temperature.
- the relatively short warming period of the seat heater is not, however, able to improve significantly the driving circumstan- ces either, in case the basic heating of the vehicle, that is traditionally carried out by blowing air, that has been warmed up by cooling the motor, does not work satisfactorily.
- the application document DE 30 26 122 and patent GB 1 085 535 there has been presented heating solutions, that are in principle based on electric resistance heating.
- the former is intended to warm up the interiors of particularly caravans, camping vans, travelling vans or cars or the like, by placing an electric resistance arrangement, that is advantageously built-in with a glass fiber reinforced polyester material into the upholstery of the vehicle in questi- on.
- the basic heating of the vehicle according to the solutions offered by this application must be furthermore based essentially on traditional techniques in other words on that, that heat being transferred from the motor cooling system is being blown to the vehicle's interior by nozzles, that have been placed at suitable points, because the power of the resistors presented in the application in question are dimensioned only with a view to occasional supplementary heating in order to compensate the defective power of the vehicle's basic heating or bad thermal insulation.
- the method according to the invention is primarily characterized in, chat basic heating of the vehi- cle's interior, such as of the cab, the cabin, the trunk and/or like, at least during driving the vehicle is being produced continuously by means of an electric heat exchange arrangement, that is placed into the vehicle's floor, walls/doors, ceiling and/or correspondingly.
- the method according to the invention gives first of all "free hands" for development of techniques particularly in order to improve the efficiency of motors, because significantly less waste energy from the motor is needed for basic heating of the vehicle's interiors. This waste energy may be needed in the future only e.g. for blowing heat for the wind screen or windows particularly in order to prevent them from getting frosted, the meaning of which is very minimal with respect to usual basic heating of the vehicle.
- the most important fact is, that the method according to the invention enables significantly more comfortable or in other words more homogeneous and "draughtless" indoor air for the vehicle than presently.
- the invention enables on the other hand that, that it is possible to exploit the electric heat exchange arrangement above for preheating of the vehicle in a way, that usual seat heaters need not be used at all, because heat reflecting e.g. from the ceiling warms up also the corresponding surfaces by radiation.
- the invention relates to a heat exchange apparatus functioning according to the method, also, that is represented in more detail in the preamble of the independent claim directed to the same.
- the primary characteristics of the heat exchange apparatus are represented in the characterizing part of the corresponding claim.
- the heat exchange apparatus gives on the other hand also a great liberty to development of motor techniques, because waste energy from the motor is needed in the future only e.g. for frost removal of the wind screen and the windows.
- the heat exchange apparatus according to the invention is first of all very easy to install and maintain with a view to the vehicle's original composition and retrofit of the same as well e.g. by changing only the damaged elect- ric resistors or like while the reparation measures of traditional heating systems based on water circulation are known to be very laborious.
- the heat exchange apparatus according to the invention may be easy retrofitted as well e.g. by adding e.g. one additional generator and accumulator to the control center connected to the electric system, by means of which the total power of the electric resistors being used may be produced. It is furthermore possible to use elements based on peltier-phenomen in the electric heat exchange arrangement, by means of which also cooling of the vehicle's indoor air may be carried out in addition to heating of the same simply by changing the polarity of the elements.
- the heat exchange apparatus according to the invention enables also, that the interior of the vehicle, that is equipped with e.g. a block heater, is being preheated by the heat exchange apparatus according to the invention, the control center of which is connected also to the current feed of the block heater, in which case it is not anymore needed to exploit traditional seat heaters at all.
- Fig 2 shows a principle of coupling of an advanta- geous heat exchange apparatus exploiting the method according to the invention with the vehicle's electric system and
- Fig 3 shows an example of placement of an electric resistor or like belonging to the heat exchange apparatus according to the invention into the internal structures of the vehicle.
- the invention relates to a method for heating a vehicle driven by a combustion engine, such as a bus, a van, a truck, a motorcar, a working machine or like, whereby a resistance arrangement or like is being used, that exploits during use of the vehicle electric energy produced by the electric system S of the vehicle, such as a generator and/or an accumulator belonging to the same and that has been built into the vehicle's upholstery, such as to the bottom, the walls/doors, the ceiling and/or like of the vehicle and, by which at least one or several internal surfaces of the vehicle are being warmed up.
- a combustion engine such as a bus, a van, a truck, a motorcar, a working machine or like
- Basic heating of the vehicle's interior, such as of the cab, the cabin, the trunk and/or like at least during driving of the vehicle is being produced continuously by means of an electric heat exchange arrangement, that is placed into the vehicle's floor, walls/doors, ceiling and/or correspondingly.
- the power of the electric heat exchange arrangements such as of the floor heating resistors 1, the door/wall heating resistors 2a, 2b, the ceiling heating resistors 3 and/or the heating resistors 4 for the trunk or like is 200 W - 4 kW depending on the vehicle.
- the total capacity of the vehicle's accumulator arrangement A is between 100 - 600 Ah and preferably the total power of the generator arrangement G, the voltage of which is preferably adjustable, is between 1 , 5 kW - 8 kW depending on the vehicle.
- a control center 0 that is connected to the vehicle ' s electric system S and with which there has coupled at least one auxiliary generator G2 and one auxiliary accumulator A2 particularly in order to complement the power of the vehicle's original elect- ric system.
- a control center 0 that is connected to the vehicle ' s electric system S and with which there has coupled at least one auxiliary generator G2 and one auxiliary accumulator A2 particularly in order to complement the power of the vehicle's original elect- ric system.
- the capacity and power of the accumulator assembly A and generator assembly G of the electric heating system of the vehicle are adequate as such.
- thermoelectric process such as by means of elements based on peltier-phenomen, particularly in order to enable also cooling of the vehicle in addition to heating of its interior by changing the polarity of the assembly in question or correspondin- gly.
- the vehicle's interior is being preheated by connecting at least a part of the electric heat exchange arrangement , such as of the electric resistance arrangement 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 to the current feed of the actuator T mentioned above on the princi- pie shown e.g. in fig. 2 by transmission of the control center O.
- the electric heat exchange arrangement such as of the electric resistance arrangement 1, 2, 3 and/or 4
- the meaning of adjustability of e.g. the auxiliary generator G2 is mainly such, that during preheating of the vehicle or when starting to drive the car it is warmed up clearly more efficiently than during its normal use, thanks to which coldness may be easily removed from the structures.
- the control center 0 is such, that it limits the auxiliary generator's G2 current feed to the auxiliary accumulator A2 so, that the accumulator in question may not get damaged despite the higher starting voltage of the auxiliary generator.
- the heat exchange apparatus may be adapted for warming up continuously during driving of most heterogeneous vehicles driven by combustion engine, by using floor heating resistors 1, door/wall heating resistors 2a, 2b, ceiling heating resistors 3 and/or heating resistors 4 for the trunk or like, that are placed in the vehicle's interior, such as e.g. into the cab, the cabin, the trunk or like.
- the electric resistors are formed as laminate structures, e.g. by a resistor pattern made of aluminium, copper or like and that is placed inbetween two plastic sheets, that are laminated together.
- an insulation E e.g. before other structural parts R of the vehicle.
- the power of floor and door heating resistors is most suitably between 0,2 - 0,6 kW and of the ceiling heating resistor correspondingly between 0,2 - 0, 4 kW.
- the power of door/wall heating is e.g. about 0,2 - 0 , 6 kW and correspondingly the power of ceiling heating is about 0,2 - 0,4 kW.
- the power of the floor, ceiling and wall heating resistors is probably between 2 - 4 kW and furthermore in the trunk between 1 - 2 kW.
- the power of an auxiliary generator G2 is about 4 kW and correspondingly the capacity of an auxiliary accumulator A2 is about 300 Ah in a full size bus.
- the power of the auxiliary generator is about 1 - 1,5 kW and the capacity of the auxiliary accumulator A2 is about 75 Ah, whereby the total power of the resistors is about 2 - 3 kW.
- a part of the heat exchange arrangement has been carried out by elements X based on e.g. peltier-phenomen, in order to enable cooling of the vehicle's interior in addition to warming up of the same e.g. by changing the polarity of the arrangement in question.
- the heat exchan- ge apparatus may be exploited in connection with a vehicle, for preheating of which e.g. a block heater T or like is being used, whereby e.g. according to the coupling in question a part e.g. of the electric resistance arrangement 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 is connected directly to the current feed of the block heater T, whereby there is now need for traditional seat heaters or like at all and the indoor air of the vehicle has been warmed up already when starting the vehicle.
- a part e.g. of the electric resistance arrangement 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 is connected directly to the current feed of the block heater T, whereby there is now need for traditional seat heaters or like at all and the indoor air of the vehicle has been warmed up already when starting the vehicle.
- the points, that are known to be problematic in present vehicles may be efficiently warmed up so, that e.g. so called feeling of draught or passage/loading steps getting frozen are avoided.
- e.g. floor resistors may be installed denser in connection with doors or exit/loading spaces with respect to other parts.
- a control and adjustment unit SI to be used centralized by the driver and/or by e.g. separate regulators S2 placed in connection with the bus seats with a view to each passanger's needs.
