ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow assembly for solar heat absorbers, radiators and the like formed of a pair of tubular headers, defining respectively an inlet header and an outlet header, and placed in fluid flow communication by a plurality of tubular members disposed substantially coplanar and parallel, and connected at each end to one of the headers. The end portions of the tubular members project into the headers through a collective slot disposed in the sidewall of each header. The lengths of the tubular member projecting end portions progressively increase in the direction of fluid flow through the inlet header, the shortest projecting end portion being disposed upstream, and the lengths of the tubular member projecting end portions progressively decrease in the direction of fluid flow through the outlet header, the shortest projecting end portion being disposed downstream. When used as solar heat absorbers, for example, the assemblies of the invention are disposed as heat collector units in appropriate areas exposed to sun rays, and a fluid to be heated is circulated from one header to the other, the heat being soaked by the tubular members exposed to the sun rays being transmitted to the circulating fluid which is progressively heated as it flows from the inlet header to the outlet header.
