ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector for an automotive vehicle comprises an absorber panel and a cover panel spaced from one another to form an air flow channel. The passenger compartment of the vehicle communicates with the air flow channel via one or more openings, while the air flow channel communicates at a downstream side with the ambient atmosphere via one or more air outlets. The cover panel is made of a material transparent to incident solar radiation of optical frequencies and impervious to electromagnetic radiation of infrared frequencies. The absorber panel absorbs solar energy and transfers the heat energy so produced to air flowing through the air flow channel from the passenger compartment. The absorber panel is provided with support ribs on which the cover panel rests and with deflection ribs for deflecting the air stream and thereby enhancing heat transfer characteristics. The cover panel is advantageously connected to the absorber panel in a form lock fit which facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the absorber panel.
