ABSTRACT:
A solar heater having a reflector which focuses sun rays onto a solar heat-absorbing collector.
The collector consists of a transparent vacuum flask with a novel highly efficient collector cell including heat-transfer transparent fluid therein. The collector comprises a center support in the form of a metal inlet pipe and a series of frusto-conical heat-absorbing cones and intervening sleeves clamped to the pipe. The cones are formed of thin aluminum and have highly polished reflective interior sides. The exterior sides of the cups as well as the sleeves are blackened. The reflector is arranged to focus the rays perpendicularly to the flask so that the heat-absorbing exterior sides of the cones which have an angle of incidence reflect the rays axially of the tube into the interior sides of the adjacent cones, which being arranged at preferably 45.degree. to the axis of the tube, reflect the rays against the intermediate black sleeve. The heat absorbed by the metal is transferred to fluid which is circulated through the flask to a use apparatus such as a boiler, turbine, etc.
