Abstract

Ceiling-mounted radiating elements for heating or cooling rooms, comprising means for connecting the ceiling-mounted radiating elements together, wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements comprise at least one through-flow pipe for a heating or cooling medium, and radiating surfaces are arranged radially around said pipe, wherein to connect two ceiling-mounted radiating elements ( 1, 1 ′), at least one core piece ( 2 ) is provided which allows an operationally tight connection of the through-flow pipes ( 3 ) of two ceiling-mounted radiating elements ( 1, 1 ′) to be connected, and at least one mounting rail ( 4 ) for positioning at least one connecting part ( 5 ) is provided, which locks and secures the ceiling-mounted radiating elements ( 1, 1 ′) when a connection is produced.

Claims (23)

1 . A plurality of ceiling-mounted radiating elements for heating or cooling rooms, comprising means for connecting the ceiling-mounted radiating elements together, wherein each of the ceiling-mounted radiating elements comprises at least one through-flow pipe for a heating or cooling medium, and at least one radiating surface,

means for connecting a first one of the plurality of ceiling-mounted radiating elements with a second one of the plurality of ceiling-mounted radiating elements comprising:

at least one core piece having an operationally tight connection to the through-flow pipes of the first and the second ceiling-mounted radiating elements,

at least one connecting part and at least one mounting rail for positioning the at least one connecting part, wherein the at least one connecting part and the at least one mounting rail lock and secure the first and the second ceiling-mounted radiating elements together.

2 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one mounting rail and the at least one connecting part have mechanisms in active co-operation.

3 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one mounting rail comprises a connecting element for a ceiling fixing and/or for mounting of additional attachments.

4 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two ceiling-mounted radiating elements are connected together via a corner transition piece, wherein the corner transition piece has at least one seal on both sides, and wherein pipe clamps are provided on both sides of the corner transition piece, at which the at least one connecting part is arranged in the at least one mounting rail of one of the plurality of the ceiling-mounted radiating elements.

5 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein several radiating surfaces are arranged radially around said through-flow pipe, wherein at least two radiating surfaces are positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically around the through-flow pipe.

6 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein more than one mounting rail for positioning of more than one connecting part are arranged directly radially offset around the circumference of the through-flow pipe.

7 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radiating surfaces each have a free end, and wherein at least one mounting rail for positioning of at least one connecting part is arranged at the free ends of the radiating surfaces.

8 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements are fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector.

9 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the core piece has at least one seal and a ring and/or collar and/or stop-centering element arranged in the middle of a first and a second seal of the at least one seal.

10 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements are fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector.

11 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least one mounting rail and the at least one connecting part have mechanisms in active co-operation.

12 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements are fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector.

13 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one mounting rail comprises a connecting element for a ceiling fixing and/or for mounting of additional attachments.

14 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements are fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector.

15 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 13 , wherein two ceiling-mounted radiating elements are connected together via a corner transition piece, wherein the corner transition piece has at least one seal on both sides, and wherein pipe clamps are provided on both sides of the corner transition piece, at which the at least one connecting part is arranged in the at least one mounting rail of one of the plurality of the ceiling-mounted radiating elements.

16 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements are fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector.

17 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 15 , wherein several radiating surfaces are arranged radially around said through-flow pipe, wherein at least two radiating surfaces are positioned symmetrically or asymmetrically around the through-flow pipe.

18 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 17 , wherein more than one mounting rail for positioning of more than one connecting part are arranged directly radially offset around the circumference of the through-flow pipe.

19 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the radiating surfaces each have a free end, and wherein at least one mounting rail for positioning of at least one connecting part is arranged at the free ends of the radiating surfaces.

20 . The ceiling-mounted radiating elements as claimed in claim 19 , wherein the ceiling-mounted radiating elements are fluidically connected in series one behind the other and/or around corners or in parallel via a collector.
