ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector wherein the absorber means comprises a black liquid absorber for converting solar energy to thermal energy and absorbing the thermal energy. The solar energy collector includes an upper cover having a plurality of raised chamber modules each having surfaces angularly disposed to the cover surface for collecting and transmitting solar energy to the black liquid absorber. Means are provided for exposing the black liquid absorber to solar radiation and comprise an upper and lower surface means transparent to solar energy and defining a plurality of elongated channel means for conveying the black liquid absorber therebetween. Inlet means are provided for introducing the black liquid abosrber to the channel means and outlet means are provided for conveying away the black liquid absorber and absorbed thermal energy. A lower cover means is provided having a plurality of raised chamber modules each having surfaces angularly disposed to the cover surface, transparent to solar radiation, and corresponding to the upper cover means. The upper and lower cover means are disposed in abutting relationship, respectively, with the upper and lower surface means at least along the elongated perimeters whereby the chamber modules form a plurality of heat chambers for maximizing solar energy collection and minimizing heat loss. In the preferred embodiment, upper and lower wall means are disposed within the upper and lower cover means and about the elongated channel means. The upper and lower wall means are transparent to solar radiation and have a configuration and are positioned relative to the channel means so that (1) when the collector is exposed to solar radiation, will provide for mechanical rigidity of the collector; (2) minimize heat loss by conduction, convection and radiation; (3) control thermal expansion of the channel surfaces, and (4) control the volume of black liquid absorber per unit area carried by the channel means.
