ABSTRACT:
A heat blanket for building enclosures with large glazing areas, such as greenhouses and other solar-oriented buildings comprises a night time/inclement daytime blanket consisting of series of tube stacks, each tube in a stack being inflatable so that the inflation of tubes within the stacks and in turn within the series of stacks, causes the tube stacks to spread themselves to cover a large area and, in turn, deflation allows a ready compression of the stacks to a storage region. Generally, inflation and deflation involves movement of the stacks horizontally to provide an insulating roof. After inflation, the tubes are sealed and each stack provides a substantial inflating value of closed tubes, specific values being adjustable by adding one tube to a stack. The inflation value can be supplemented by making the space between tubes (from stack to stack and within stacks) a closed space as well, by selective use of reflection techniques and other adjustments.
