Flexible heat transfer element

摘要

The heat transfer element according to the invention can be used for radiant panel heating in conjunction with low feed temperatures, but also for thermal insulating purposes, as an environmental energy absorber or as a basic element for solar collectors. The technical object of the invention is substantially to expand the scope of application of heat exchangers for using low-temperature heat with the aid of a flexible heat transfer element which can be produced cost-effectively, by specifically shaping the structure in order to reduce tensile, compressive and frictional influences on hoses used as energy carriers in conjunction with a simultaneous increase in flexibility, it being possible to set the required thermal insulation. According to the invention, the hoses for transporting the heat carrier are integrated longitudinally or transversely as lengths of binding element into a chain fabric which can have a square mesh structure. For the purpose of stabilization against compressive forces, cables or rods can be inserted between the hoses. In addition, planar structures such as absorber films and convection protection films but also transverse lengths consisting of crumpled wide film can be integrated. The tubes can also be integrated in the chain fabric in accordance with the pattern. <IMAGE>
