ABSTRACT:
This invention utilizes a solar radiation absorbing fluid (i.e.: a black fluid) for direct solar energy to thermal energy transfer. The unique structure of the several disclosed embodiments of this invention provides for a selected distribution and a selected depth of the absorbing fluid in the solar energy exposed area.
The disclosed apparatus converts solar radiation energy into thermal energy with higher conversion efficiency, lower material and manufacturing costs and considerable weight reduction compared to conventional solar collectors.
