Abstract
The invention relates to a heating mat (4) for a surface heating system (1.1), particularly for heating a room (101) of a building (100), comprising a flexible base unit (10) that has a first carrier element (11) with a planar extension and a first main side (11.1) and a second main side (11.2), and at least one electric heating means (20) for discharging heat. The invention further relates to a surface heating system (1.2) and to a method (200) for producing a heating mat (4).
Claims27
A heating mat for a surface heating system comprising:
- a flexible base unit with a first carrier element, which comprises a flat extension with a first base side and a second base side;
- at least one electrical heating element formed in the flexible base unit for emitting heat;
- a plurality of electrodes distributed in a regular pattern in the flexible base unit for detecting an activity of a person;
- and
- wherein the plurality of electrodes is configured for capacitive detection of an activity of the person;
- wherein the at least one electrical heating element is arranged on the first base side of the first carrier element in such a way that the base unit can be laid flat for a design of the surface heating system;
- wherein the heating mat forms a heating module configured to be connected together with further heating modules to form the surface heating system.
A surface heating system for heating a room of a building, comprising:
- a plurality of heating mats, each having
- a flexible base unit with a first carrier element, which comprises a flat extension with a first base side and a second base side;
- at least one electrical heating element formed in the flexible base unit for emitting heat;
