CLADDING PANEL

Abstract

A panel (50) having a visible side and a rear side opposite to the visible side (3), wherein the rear side has at least one fastening portion (15, 16), wherein the panel (50) has a concrete covered area, wherein there is provided a capillary tube mat (5), which is incorporated into the concrete area such that the capillary tube mat (50) is completely concealed by the concrete covered area at least on the visible side (3).

Claims

1-10. (canceled)

11. A panel comprising: a visible side; a rear side opposite to the visible side; at least one fastening portion one or at the rear side; a concrete covered area; and a capillary tube mat incorporated into the concrete covered area such that the capillary tube mat is completely concealed by the concrete covered area at least on the visible side.

12. The panel of claim 11, wherein the capillary tube mat comprises an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet opens into a feed line and the outlet opens into a discharge line, wherein the feed line is incorporated in the concrete covered area and the discharge line is incorporated in the concrete covered area.

13. The panel of claim 11, wherein the capillary tube mat comprises polypropylene.

14. The panel of claim 11, wherein the capillary tube mat has a plurality of capillaries.

15. The panel of claim 14, wherein the capillaries have a diameter of from 00.5 mm to 4.0 mm.

16. The panel of claim 14, wherein the capillaries have a lateral distance of 10 to 30 mm.

17. The panel of claim 11, wherein the concrete covered area forms a first layer, the panel further comprising a second layer arranged closer to the visible side than the first layer, and wherein the capillary tube mat is embedded in the first layer.

18. An assembly, including at least one panel according to claim 11, which is fastened to a building at a distance via the fastening portion using a mounting means.

19. The assembly of claim 18, further comprising a heat exchanging device.

20. The assembly of claim 18, further comprising a heat reservoir and/or a heat storage device.

21. A panel according to claim 11, wherein the panel is configured as a cladding panel.

22. An assembly, including at least one cladding panel according to claim 21, which is fastened to a building at a distance via the fastening portion using a mounting means.

23. The assembly of claim 22, further comprising a heat exchanging device.

24. The assembly of claim 22, further comprising a heat reservoir and/or a heat storage device.

Description

[0023] Further advantages and details of the invention are explained by way of the figures and the figure descriptions.

[0024] FIG. 1a to 1c show three views of a panel according to the invention.

[0025] FIGS. 2a to 2c show three detail views of FIG. 1a, 1b and 1c.

[0026] FIG. 3 shows an assembly comprised of panel and building.

[0027] In FIG. 1a to 2c there is shown a panel 50 according to the invention. FIG. 1a schematically shows the panel 50 with the capillary tube mat 5, embedded in a concrete layer 1. The illustration in FIG. 1a is purely schematic and shows in the background a second layer 2, which forms the visible side at the rear side of the sheet. The first layer 1, in which the capillary tube mat 5 is embedded, is not shown in FIG. 1a for reasons of clarity. FIG. 1b shows a section through the panel 50 along II-II, FIG. 1c shows a section through the panel 50 along I-I of FIG. 1a. FIG. 2a shows the enlarged detail of the area indicated by a circle of FIG. 1a. FIG. 2b shows an enlargement of the area indicated by a circle of FIG. 1b. Finally, FIG. 2b shows the area indicated by the circle of FIG. 1b.

[0028] The structural configuration of the panel 50 is most clearly shown in FIG. 1c and 2c. There is visible the two-layered configuration, wherein the concrete covered area forms a first layer 1 and there is provided a second layer 2. The second layer 2 is arranged closer to the visible side 4, whereas the first layer 1 is arranged closer to the rear side 4. The capillary tube mat 5 having individual capillaries 6 is embedded in the first layer 1. The capillaries 6 have a lateral distance d. The capillaries 6 are connected on one side with the feed line 7 and on the other side with a discharge line 8. The discharge line 8 (FIG. 2c) and the feed line 7 may be connected to an air conditioning, heating or any other device. For this purpose, the feed line 7 and the discharge line 8 have ports 15, 16, which form an inlet and an outlet, and may also be used for fastening the panel 50, which, hence, (at least in part) may also serve as a fastening portion.

[0029] FIG. 3 shows the panel 50 in the form of a cladding panel, which is exposed to solar irradiation 21. By means of spacer elements 29, the cladding panel 50 is arranged at a distance to the building 30. The building 30 has a solid portion and an insulation portion 32. In-between insulation portion 31 and cladding panel 50 there is air so that the facade is ventilated. By means of shut-off elements 40, the air flow in the ventilated area 25 may be altered.
