Abstract
A structural element for a housing structure of a heating device. The structural element is at least essentially, especially completely, developed as a foam part, preferably as a thermoplastic casting foam part. In addition, a housing structure is described, which has a corresponding structural element, preferably at least two corresponding structural elements. Moreover, a heating device is described that includes at least one corresponding structural element and/or a corresponding housing structure. In addition, a method for mounting a corresponding housing structure is described.
Claims9
A structural element for a housing structure of a heating device, wherein the structural element is a thermoplastic casting foam part, wherein the structural element has a C-shape that is open in a same direction as a front of the heating device, wherein the structural element has at least one receptacle for at least one of:
- (i) a structural housing element, (ii) at least one further housing element, and (iii) at least one functional unit, wherein the at least one structural housing element is at least one wind box, wherein the at least one wind box is mounted on the structural element via at least two tab-like connection means to establish a form-locked connection with the structural element.
A housing structure for a heating device, comprising:
- at least two structural elements, wherein each of the at least two structural elements is a thermoplastic casting foam part, wherein each of the at least two structural elements has a C-shape that is open in a same direction as a front of the heating device,
- wherein each of the at least two structural elements has at least one receptacle for at least one of:
- (i) a structural housing element, (ii) at least one further housing element, and (iii) at least one functional unit, wherein the at least one structural housing element is at least one wind box, wherein the at least one wind box is mounted on the structural element via at least two tab-like connection means to establish a form-locked connection with the structural element.
A gas heating system, comprising:
- a housing structure for a heating device, the housing structure including at least two structural elements, wherein each of the at least two structural elements is a thermoplastic casting foam part, wherein each of the at least two structural elements has a C-shape that is open in a same direction as a front of the heating device,
- wherein each of the at least two structural elements has at least one receptacle for at least one of:
- (i) a structural housing element, (ii) at least one further housing element, and (iii) at least one functional unit, wherein the at least one structural housing element is at least one wind box, wherein the at least one wind box is mounted on the structural element via at least two tab-like connection means to establish a form-locked connection with the structural element.
A method for mounting a housing structure for a heating device, the housing structure including at least two structural elements, wherein each of the at least two structural elements is a foam part, the method comprising:
- inserting, at least one connection element into the at least two structural elements to connect the at least two structural elements to each other;
- and
- attaching at least one wind box on the at least two structural elements via at least two tab-like connection means to establish a form-locked connection with the at least two structural elements, wherein the structural element has a C-shape that is open in a same direction as a front of the heating device.
