- the terrace heating device bearing the general reference (1) comprises heating means which are constituted by a main heating element (8).
- Said heating element is advantageously of the radiant heating type supplied with gas by supply means (MA), said gas possibly being, for example, propane or butane.
- the heating element (8) can also be of any type such as, for example, operating with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the supply means (MA) advantageously corresponding to the type of the main heating element used.
- Said main heating element (8) is carried by holding means, such as a support mast (3), so as to advantageously allow said heating element to be situated at a height (L) from the ground which can be understood between 1 and 3 meters.
- the radiation of the element and / or the heat supplied by the combustion can, moreover, be advantageously oriented or directed downwards so as to directly heat the space (5) situated directly above said heating element (8 ).
- the heating element (8) is advantageously located at the top (3a) of the supporting mast (3) and that it can be surmounted by a reflection dome (19) intended to reflect the radiation produced by the element. heater (8) to the space (5) to be heated in order to avoid heat loss.
- the patio heating device (1) comprises at least one additional heating element (10) arranged at the level of the base (3b) of the supporting mast (3).
- this additional heating element (10) is arranged at a height (Hl) from the ground of between 0 and 1 m in order to be able to heat the lower part (5a) of the space to be heated (5).
- This additional heating element is advantageously of the same type as the main heating element (8) and is formed by a radiant heating element or burner; it can therefore be supplied by the same supply means (MA).
- These supply means (MA) are formed by a bottle (7) of a gaseous fuel such as propane, butane or liquefied petroleum gas; said bottle (7) being disposed at the level of the base (3b) of the carrier mast inside an enclosure or base (4) of the heating device (1) on which the carrier mast (3) is fixed.
- a gaseous fuel such as propane, butane or liquefied petroleum gas
- the heating device (1) of the invention comprises one or more complementary heating elements (10) arranged on the base (4) of the device (1).
- These elements are of the radiant type and are directed towards the outside (EXT) of the base (4) to heat the space (5a) located around the base thanks to their radiation, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the heating elements (10) are directed or oriented as far as possible downwards to heat the air located as close as possible to the ground as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the complementary heating elements (10) are exclusively oriented towards the outside to heat the surrounding air. They are distributed uniformly over the periphery of the cylindrical enclosure (4) which comprises the supply means (MA, 7) so as to be able to radiate around the entire perimeter of the enclosure (4).
- a part of the heating elements (10) can be intended to directly or indirectly heat the interior of the base (4) to maintain an adequate temperature inside it. ci so that the bottles (7) which constitute the supply means (MA) can supply the main heating element (8) with a optimal performance by providing a gaseous fuel at a suitable temperature.
- MCA external auxiliary heating means
- MCI additional internal heating means
- this operating range is essentially defined as a function of the technical characteristics of the supply means and of the main heating element or burner (8) in order to obtain a maximum efficiency of said element and thus to optimize its consumption and its efficiency.
- the base (4) is of rectangular shape and it carries on each of its side faces at least one additional heating element (10).
- These elements (10) which radiate outwards (EXT) from the base (4) also allow, through their internal wall, to indirectly heat the interior of the base by thermal conduction.
- EXT radiate outwards
- the mere presence of heating elements (10), even directed towards the outside (EXT) of the base allows a significant increase in the internal temperature of said base (4) and therefore obtaining a better yield for the main heating element.
- FIG. 10 an alternative embodiment illustrated in FIG.
- the base (4) may have an additional element (10d) directed inwards to heat directly by conduction or by radiation, the air located around the supply means ( MA, 7) and thus obtain a superior efficiency of the main heating element (8) which then uses a "preheated" gaseous fuel.
- the heating device (1) comprises a base of cylindrical shape which carries along several of its generators complementary heating elements (10) longitudinal .
- These elements (10) advantageously extend over the entire height (H) of the base (4) and are distributed uniformly over the periphery of the base; they are supplied with gaseous fuel via a distribution ring (6) located either at the lower end of the complementary heating elements (10), or at their upper end.
- These complementary elements (10) are advantageously cylindrical in shape and radiate over their entire periphery in order to heat the interior (INT) and the exterior (EXT) of the base (4) simultaneously; they thus constitute the internal heating means (MCI) and the external heating means (MCA).
- the base (4) which carries the complementary heating elements (10) and to which the carrying mast (3) is fixed, comprises an additional internal enclosure or envelope ( 11) inside which is the bottles (7) of gaseous fuel.
- This envelope made of a material constituting a good thermal conductor makes it possible to physically isolate the bottles (7) from the burners which form the complementary elements (10) so as not to expose them directly to the radiation of these while allowing them to be kept within an adequate temperature range.
- This envelope advantageously allows the use of complementary heating elements (10) whose radiation is directed partly towards the interior of the base (4); it thus contributes to the security of the device.
- the base can contain at its lower end one or more lateral openings intended to evacuate the hot air contained in the base, substantially at ground level to contribute to the heating of the space (5a) surrounding the base (4).
- the complementary heating elements (10) are supplied by the same supply means (MA, 7) as the main heating element (8); however, they can be managed independently using their own adjustment or control means (12).
- These control means (12) can advantageously allow the adjustment of the heating intensity of the complementary elements (10) by controlling their supply by the fuel bottles (7).
- these control means comprise an adjustment button (12) which makes it possible to regulate the feed rate of a valve (13) which connects the gas fuel bottles (7) to the elements (10).
- the main heating element (8) is adjusted by own control means (50) located in the upper part of the supporting mast and which make it possible to manage in a manner known per se ignition of the burner and the gas flow feeding it through a valve and pilot system.
- the element or complementary elements (10) are managed independently by a clean valve system (75).
- the bottle (7) supplying the heating elements (8, 10) is provided with a pressure reducer (80) which makes it possible to separate the supply networks which convey the fuel to the heating elements.
- the complementary heating element (10) carried by the base (4) can be arranged outside the base to slightly move away from it as shown in FIG. 7.
- the patio heater (1) comprises means for independent adjustment of the heating elements (8, 10), so as to be able to precisely regulate the intensity of heating of the different elements and of power thus obtaining a coherent distribution of heat over the entire space to be heated (5) and no longer over a small part of it, as proposed by current devices.
- automatic regulation means intended to maintain the internal temperature (T) of the base (4) and therefore of the bottles (7) within the operating range defined according to the characteristics of the main burner (8).
- These regulation means can be constituted by a thermostat system which makes it possible to act on the internal heating means (MCI) to regulate their intensity.
- FIG. 8 illustrates an alternative embodiment according to which, the main heating (8) is offset with respect to the additional heating (10) so as not to be disposed directly above, that is to say vertically of said heating complementary.
- the carrying mast (3) does not extend vertically but is for example curved or such that this is illustrated, namely with a mast produced in several sections.
- the additional heating element (10) is not provided with space (Z) limited by the gas bottle (7) and / or the base (4), but above this area, close to the latter.
