ABSTRACT:
Structures fabricated from modules of permeable concrete provide heat storage and transfer capability. Such structures derive solar energy directly, store it within the modules for future use in a building, or it can withdraw heat from a building and dispose of it to the sky with little utility derived energy. After erection without mortar both surfaces are coated with fiber filled mastic for strength and to enclose an air circulation system. Each module has a central bin filled with gravel and two planar ducts between each end and the central bin. Air injected into the first, from the outside end, duct removes heat from the surface, distributes the heat by uniform transverse flow to warm the gravel and exits through the third duct. Similarly, at useful times, it removes heat from the gravel and warms the interior surface. At other times and by the same process heat is removed from the interior surface and stored; later it is transferred to the exterior surface and radiated into space. Auxiliary sensors, valves, actuators, fans, conduits and a computer are provided for. Under most conditions no energy collection, disposal or storage means external to the modules is required.
