ABSTRACT:
A rigid metal framework includes parallel u-shaped guides which are spaced apart and lined with a resilient material for supporting the edges of a solar absorber or core, which guides are connected with separate transverse members at their opposite ends together with intermediate cross-supports to increase the rigidity of the framework and a clamp in one of the housings to secure a manifold of a solar absorber, thereby allowing expansion and contraction of the core to occur in the guides, thereby providing support of the core without creating stress in the absorber. The framework can be fixed to the installation site but allows the absorber to float in a controlled manner within the framework without damage, as thermal conditions change. In addition, the framework design allows glazing (transparent covers) to be placed over the absorber, enhancing the efficiency of the resulting collector unit. The framework also enables the several units to nest together without typical stresses found in multipanel installations having large absorbing surface areas.
