Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A heating device for the vehicle interior of a vehicle is configured in the form of an infrared (IR) radiator with a textile-based heating band arranged, in a reflector housing. The textile-based heating band is made of a mixed yarn of basalt and stainless steel. Such a heating device can be installed in a footwell of a vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A heating device for a vehicle interior of a vehicle, wherein the heating device is configured as an IR radiator comprising a reflector housing having a parabolic cross section with a textile-based heating band and a heating element carrier arranged in the reflector housing, wherein the textile-based heating band is made of a mixed yarn of stainless steel wrapped on an outside by a basalt multifilament, said heating band having a cross section of uniform thickness to enable heat radiation generated by the heating band to exit perpendicular to the heating band, wherein the heating band has an entirely planar surface without curvature in facing relation to an exit of the reflector housing, wherein the heating band is arranged on the heating element carrier, said heating element carrier arranged below the heating band opposite the heat radiation generated by the heating band. 2. The heating device of claim 1 , wherein the basalt multifilament has a fineness between 50 and 100 tex, said stainless steel being a stainless steel fiber with a diameter of 0.02 mm to 0.05 mm. 3. The heating device of claim 2 , wherein the fineness is 68 tex. 4. The heating device of claim 2 , wherein the diameter of the stainless steel fiber is 0.035 mm. 5. The heating device of claim 1 , further comprising a protective grid covering the reflector housing. 6. A vehicle, comprising: a footwell; and a heating device configured as an IR radiator comprising a reflector housing having a textile-based heating band and a heating element carrier arranged in the reflector housing, wherein the textile-based heating band is made of a mixed yarn of stainless steel wrapped on an outside by a basalt multifilament, said heating band having a cross section of uniform thickness to enable heat radiation generated by the heating band to exit perpendicular to the heating band, wherein the heating band has an entirely planar surface without curvature in facing relation to an exit of the reflector housing, wherein the heating band is arranged on the heating element carrier, said heating element carrier arranged below the heating band opposite the heat radiation generated by the heating band. 7. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the basalt multifilament has a fineness between 50 and 100 tex, said stainless steel being a stainless steel fiber with a diameter of 0.02 mm to 0.05 mm. 8. The vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the fineness is 68 tex. 9. The vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the diameter of the stainless steel fiber is 0.035 mm. 10. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the reflector housing has a parabolic cross section, said heating device including a heating element carrier accommodated in the reflector housing, said textile heating band being arranged on the heating element carrier. 11. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the heating device includes a protective grid covering the reflector housing. 12. The heating device of claim 1 , wherein the stainless steel is wrapped with a basal multifilament at a wrapping frequency of 40 wrappings/m. 13. The vehicle of claim 6 , wherein the stainless steel is wrapped with a basal multifilament at a wrapping frequency of 40 wrappings/m.
