ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a high efficiency non-tracking solar collector device of the type in which a reflector, lens or like concentrating apparatus concentrates received energy along a path, locus or band, the location of which varies within a range during the course of the solar collecting period of the day responsive to the inclination of the sun relative to the reflector. The device is characterized by the provision of a collector assembly which includes an energy absorptive receptor surface spaced from the reflector in accordance with the focal length thereof, the receptor surface defining a boundary of a plurality of parallel paths or conduits within which heat transfer fluid is caused to flow. The fluid paths have common input and output manifolds, the system being arranged, as a result of the fluid having a viscosity which is temperature sensitive and appropriate internal geometry of the flow paths, selectively to concentrate fluid flow through that path or paths receiving maximum radiant energy. By this means there is assured that the maximum flow will occur in the hottest zones of the collector assembly without requiring moving parts or mechanical control mechanisms, such as valves, solenoids or the like. Preferably, a porous flow inhibitor is incorporated in the flow paths, resulting in a substantial increase in the flow ratio between heated and unheated paths.
