ABSTRACT:
The heat of solar radiation is collected through a thin receptor panel directly into a layer of liquid held against and flowable only upwardly along the panel in shallow channels extending between upper and lower plenum spaces in a receptor chamber which is inclined across the path of the sunlight and connected in a flow circuit completely filled with the liquid under low pressure. The liquid in the receptor will accumulate heat in the upper plenum space to exceed a selected minimum temperature and can then be passed through the flow circuit, which extends from the upper plenum space via a heat exchange zone and then back into the lower plenum space. The total volume of liquid filling the system can be so small in relation to the exposed receptor surface area that little sun time is lost in bringing the system to a relatively high temperature for delivery of the collected heat. Further, the receptor is isolated from the ambient air and moisture in a manner enabling it to receive and collect the available solar heat efficiently at all times.
