ABSTRACT:
A solar energy collector and method including an insulated, box-like enclosure having a transparent wall on one side thereof for the transmittance of solar energy into the enclosure. An energy absorption plate is placed in spaced relationship in the enclosure where it will be exposed to incident solar radiation passing through the transparent wall. An insulated divider behind the solar energy absorption plate separates the remainder of the enclosure into a heat chamber adjacent the solar energy absorption plate and a return air chamber. Air duct means and a plurality of water conduits are mounted in heat exchange relationship on the solar energy absorption plate to provide means for collecting the absorbed heat. The surfaces of the ducts, conduits, and solar energy absorption plate are selectively coated with a heat-absorbing black for improved solar energy absorption and conversion to heat. The appropriate surfaces of the transparent wall are coated with an infrared reflective surface to reduce radiation heat losses from the solar energy collector.
