Description

Electric surface temperature control system and a laying device for a heating cable of the electric surface temperature control system The invention relates to an electric surface temperature control system for a floor, wall or ceiling construction and to a laying device for a heating cable of the electric surface temperature control system. Two different technologies are known for surface temperature control of a floor, wall or ceiling structure. On the one hand, such surface temperature control is achieved due to water flowing through pipes that are laid in the ground. On the other hand, heating cables are energised, which are applied to the ground. Electric underfloor heating systems are well known. These consist of so-called heat mats, which are known under www.fussbodenheizungdirekt.de/elektroheizung, for example. Such heating mats consist of a rollable thin-layer mat on which heating cables for electric underfloor heating are pre-laid and fixed in a meandering pattern on the thinlayer mat. Such thin-layer mats with pre-laid heating cables are rolled out on the existing ground, such as screed. An adhesive or mortar is applied to this thin-layer mat to bond it to the ground, in particular screed, and on the other hand to bond a floor, wall or ceiling covering to the ground, in particular screed. Such heat mats for the formation of electric underfloor heating allow a low degree of flexibility in adapting to the geometry or cut of the room, as the thin-film mat has a predefined sheet width. In addition, the electrical heating cables pre-laid on it should not be removed from the thin-film mat, cut or otherwise laid. The invention is based on the object of proposing an electric surface tern perature control system for a floor, wall or ceiling structure, which enables heating cables to be laid in a simple manner and which can be individually adapted to the size and layout of the room. Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of proposing a laying device by means of which a heating cable of the electric surface temperature control system can be laid in a room in a simple manner. Date Re9ue/Date Received 2022-08-10 This object is achieved by an electric surface temperature control system for a floor, wall or ceiling construction, which comprises at least one heating cable, which can be arranged on at least one carrier plate, wherein the at least one carrier plate is designed as a film-like plate made of plastic, which can be designed to be flat or profiled, and has a first plate side, which is provided for resting on the ground, and com prises a second plate side, which is located opposite the first one and is provided for receiving a contact agent, such as mortar or adhesive, which cures in order to form a contact layer with the surface covering which is to be applied, and has a first functional layer arranged on the second plate side, wherein the first functional layer arranged on the second plate side is formed from a fibrous layer, and a second functional layer is provided on the heating cable at least in sections, which second functional layer is formed from a hook tape, and the heating wire can be fastened on the carrier plate by forming a hook-and-loop fastener between the functional layer and the second functional layer. This electric surface temperature control system has the advantage that simple laying and adaptation to the geometry or the cut of the room as well as to a distribution of a heating power within the room is possible. The carrier plate, which is preferably in the form of a sheet, can be easily adapted to the geometry of the room by cutting it to size. The heating cable can then be laid on the carrier plate(s}, whereby the course of the heating cable is simple and can be freely selected. For example, a meandering positioning of the heating cable on the carrier plate can be provided, wherein the distances and/or size of the windings can be aligned as desired. For example, the heating cables can be arranged more densely in an area close to a window or an outer wall than, for example, in a more distant area in the room. Preferably, the carrier plate, which is a film-like plate made of plastic, is formed with a plurality of chambers formed by recesses and/or elevations from a plane of the film-like plate, wherein the outer end faces of which form the first plate side and the remaining opposing surface portions form the second plate side. Such a carrier plate furthermore has the advantage that an uncoupling, in particular voltage and/or sound decoupling is provided between the surface covering supported by the carrier plate and the ground, in particular screed. Date Re9ue/Date Received 2022-08-10 The carrier plate preferably has wall portions, which extend between the end faces of the chambers forming the first plate side and surface portions connecting the chambers, which form the second plate side, and run perpendicularly or conically tapering to the end faces of the chambers.
