ABSTRACT:
A solar fluid heater includes a first planar surfaced collector for transmitting solar energy to heat a fluid located in a plurality of passages adjacently disposed to the collector. A honeycomb convection suppressor includes sidewalls orthogonally disposed to the planar surface of the collector for reducing convection heat losses. A selective coating disposed over the planar surface reduces radiation losses. Insulator material is disposed on the bottom side of the fluid carrying passages further minimizing losses from the heated fluid or water. In a dual sided fluid heater embodiment, another honeycomb conduction suppressor is disposed on the other side of the planar surfaced collector and direct and reflected solar energy is transmitted through both a top and bottom outer cover.
