ABSTRACT:
A climate control system for heating and cooling a building. The system uses solar energy for its heat source and concrete blocks for its collecting and storing material. The blocks are open faced and positioned to receive the radiation directly. An insulating enclosure is restrictably positioned to expose the blocks to the sun's radiation during the day and to enclose the blocks in the evening to trap the heat for later use. The system uses both natural and forced convection currents to transfer the heat to and from the building. In a preferred embodiment, an upper compartment with a transparent roof is built above the blocks. This compartment is comparatively small and heats quickly to high temperatures. Water pipes of the building heating system can be placed in this compartment and the heated air can be routed into the building or transmitted through a duct to the bottom of the concrete blocks to heat them. The upper compartment is particularly useful in the morning because the sun strikes it first and the heat produced can be used in the house or transmitted to the blocks to begin heating them before the sun is high enough to strike them. In addition to the insulation, the invention includes secondary walls on the exposure side of the collector, comprising transparent panels in the winter and screen louvered openings in the summer. Radiation passing through the transparent panels strikes the blocks and a hot house effect is created. When the night air is relatively cool and the days are hot, the insulating enclosure can be opened at night to pass cool air into the system to lower the temperature of the blocks so they can absorb heat from the building during the day.
