ABSTRACT:
A solar water heating apparatus comprises a plurality of longitudinal tubular storage tanks positioned adjacent one another in a stacked array. Each tank is aligned adjacent the next tank in the same direction and plane. A cold water inlet pipe is directed through coaxial apertures near the bottom of each tank while a hot water outlet pipe is directed through aligned apertures near the top of each tank. Each tank in the array is associated with a heat conducting plate with each plate having a pipe thermally connected thereto. The pipe enters the associated tank at the bottom end through a first opening and enters at the top end through a second opening. The second opening at the top end is covered by a counter balanced valve member which is pivotally mounted to the tank and is operative to block the second opening for pressures below a given pressure. Hence when cold water is directed through the cold water inlet pipe, it enters the pipe associated with the plate. As the solar energy impinges on the plate, the water is heated and the pressure causes the water to rise through the pipe towards the top opening. When a particular pressure is reached due to temperature the valve will pivot and open thus causing the heated water to continue to circulate until the entire temperature of the storage tank reaches an ambient value. The valve prevents the water from cooling as during the night time.
