Abstract
A thermal wall system may include a plurality of blocks configured to interconnect with each other forming a monolithic wall. The plurality of blocks form a series of vertical interior cavities that each extend from a top of the plurality of blocks to a bottom of the plurality of blocks, and tubing vertically extends through the series of vertical interior cavities.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a plurality of blocks configured to interconnect with each other, each of the blocks comprising two end walls and two side walls surrounding and defining an interspatial cavity, the interspatial cavities of the plurality of blocks combine to form a series of vertical interior cavities that each extend from a top of the plurality of blocks to a bottom of the plurality of blocks, wherein a top plain surface height of each of the end walls of the block is lower in height than a top plain surface of the side walls, and wherein for each block:
- a connecting wall is disposed between the two end walls with a height of the connecting wall being lower than the height of the top plain surface of the two end walls.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of blocks configured to interconnect with each other each having interspatial connected cavities forming a monolithic wall when filled with material, the plurality of blocks forming a series of vertical interior cavities that each extend from a top of the plurality of blocks to a bottom of the plurality of blocks, the vertical interior cavities configured to receive tubing to vertically extend through the series of vertical interior cavities, each of the plurality of blocks comprises:
- a notch configured to receive an alignment grommet;
- and
- a pair of ridges configured to receive a portion of the grommet when the grommet is installed in a notch of another block;
- an insulation board that is configured to be attached to the grommet on an exterior surface of the blocks.

A system comprising:
- a plurality of blocks configured to interconnect with each other each having interspatial connected cavities, the plurality of blocks forming a series of vertical interior cavities that each extend from a top of the plurality of blocks to a bottom of the plurality of blocks;
- wherein each block includes a notch, and wherein a grommet is configured to be inserted into the notch of a first block and a flange of the grommet is configured to be disposed between a pair of protrusions extending from one of the side walls of a second block, thereby connecting the first and second blocks together.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of blocks configured to interconnect with each other each having interspatial connected cavities, the plurality of blocks forming a series of vertical interior cavities that each extend from a top of the plurality of blocks to a bottom of the plurality of blocks;
- and
- tubing that vertically extend through the series of vertical interior cavities;
- wherein a tube spacing and guide device are configured to attach on the tubing in order to maintain the tubing at a uniform distance apart from each other and to provide a guide system to maintain the tubing at desired distance from inner cell walls when inserted into the plurality of blocks.
