Abstract

A fluid-filled radiator is manufactured from a plurality of relatively shallow tubular panel elements (61) to (64) by arranging the panel elements edge to edge and inserting at least one reinforcing members fitting closely between the opposite major surfaces of the panel elements. A plurality of individual bridging members (90) are resistance welded to each end of each adjacent pair of panel elements, each bridging member extending from a major surface of one panel element to a major surface of the adjacent panel element. The reinforcing members (90) prevent the collapse of the panel elements under the pressure of the resistance welding.

Description

A fluid-filled radiator is manufactured from a plurality of relatively shallow tubular panel elements (61) to (64) by arranging the panel elements edge to edge and inserting at least one reinforcing member (20) into each end of each panel element, the reinforcing members Fitting closely between the opposite major surfaces of the panel elements. A plurality of individual bridging members (90) are resistance welded to each end of each adjacent pair of panel elements, each bridging member extending from a major surface of one panel element to a major surface of one panel element to a major surface of the adjacent panel element. The reinforcing members (90) prevent the collapse of the panel elements under the pressure of the resistance welding. '«a. 12 >

Claims (14)

1. A method of manufacturing a radiator, comprising providing at least one relatively shallow tubular panel element having a pair of opposite major surfaces joined by relatively narrow edges; inserting at least one reinforcing member into at least one end of the panel element, such member fitting closely between the opposite major surfaces of the panel element and resistance welding a fluid connecting element to a major surface at the said end of the panel element; the reinforcing member(s) preventing the collapse of the panel element(s) under the pressure of the resistance welding.
2. A method of manufacturing a radiator, comprising providing a plurality of relatively shallow tubular panel elements each having a pair of opposite major surfaces joined by relatively narrow edges; arranging the panel elements edge to edge; inserting at least one reinforcing member into each end of each panel element, such member fitting closely between the opposite major surfaces of the panel element; and resistance welding a plurality of individual bridging members to each end of each adjacent pair of panel elements; each bridging member extending from a major surface of one panel element to a major surface of the adjacent panel element and at least one of the bridging members providing a fluid connection between the pair of panel elements by communicating with the interior of each panel element via a respective aperture in the major surface thereof, the reinforcing members preventing the Baggravelb.spc IE 000094 collapse of the panel elements under the pressure of the resistance welding.
3. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the reinforcing members associated with each bridging member which provides said fluid communication include conduit means in register with the aperture in the respective panel element to allow fluid flow between the bridging member and the interior of the panel element.
4. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein at least one panel element has two neighbouring panel elements, one on either side, and at least one end of the at least one panel element is joined to each neighbour by a respective bridging member providing fluid connection between the panel element and the neighbour via a respective aperture in the major surface of the tubular panel element, and wherein a single reinforcing member is located in the said at least one end of the panel element behind both apertures and has conduit means to allow fluid flow between the apertures and between each ------ -aperture and the interior of the panel element.
5. A method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the reinforcing member comprises a shallow body having opposite major surfaces which are substantially parallel to the opposite major surfaces of the tubular panel element, and wherein the conduit means includes two holes in one of the major surfaces of the body, each of said holes being in register with a respective aperture in the major surface of the tubular panel element. Baggravelb.spc IE 000094
6. A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the conduit means further includes a first bore or channel in the body extending between the two holes and a second bore or channel in the body extending from one of the holes to the edge of the body.
7. A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the conduit means further includes a first bore or channel in the body extending from one of the holes to the edge of the body and a second bore or channel in the body extending from the other of the holes to the edge of the body.
8. A method as claimed in claim 3, wherein at least one panel element has two neighbouring panel elements, one on either side, and at least one end of the at least one panel element is joined to each neighbour by a respective bridging member providing fluid connection between the panel element and the neighbour via a respective aperture in the major surface of the tubular panel element, and wherein two reinforcing members are located in the said at least one end of the panel element each behind a respective aperture and each having conduit means to allow fluid flow between the aperture and the interior of the panel element.
9. A method as claimed in claim 8, wherein each reinforcing member comprises a shallow body in the form of a ring with a central hole and at least one radial bore or channel extending from the hole to the edge of the ring. Baggravelb.spc IE 000094
10. A method as claimed in any one of claims 5 to 9, including the step of making the apertures in the major surface of the panel elements by punching with the reinforcing member(s) in position in the end of the 5 panel'element such that remnants of the major surface which are forced into the holes in the body(s).
11. A method as claimed in any of claims 2-10, wherein the at least one reinforcing member is constructed and 10 arranged in the end of the panel element such that a greater volume of fluid per unit time fluid flows from one bridging member to the next than into or out of the main body of the panel element. 15
12. A method as claimed in any of claims 2-12, wherein the adjacent edges of the panel elements are in contact.
13. A radiator made by the method as claimed in 20 claim 1.
14. A radiator made by the method as claimed in claim 2 or any of claims 3-12. Baggravelb.spc - J J I
