ABSTRACT:
A solar heating system operating on a phase-change cycle and suitable for operation in buildings. A solar heating panel is positioned to receive solar energy, and fluid passages within the panel are connected in a sealed closed fluid system. The closed fluid system is charged with a fluid medium which is vaporized by solar heating occurring in the solar panel. The heated vaporized fluid flows through energy extraction devices which do work while utilizing energy extracted from the vapor. The vaporized fluid flows to a condensor in heat exchange relation with a heat storage medium, such as a tank of water. The heat of vaporization given out by the condensing vapor is supplied to the heat storage medium, and heat can then be withdrawn from storage for space heating or for other purposes. The solar heating panel can be a composite structure fabricated from rolled sheet metal, which provides a substantial reduction in unit cost of the heating panel. The solar heating panel can also be used to provide direct heating of air.
