ABSTRACT:
A solar heater including a housing having a transparent front wall for passing incident solar radiation, a radiation absorbent collector element positioned in the housing and arranged to accept incident solar radiation passing through the front wall, means for passing a fluid medium to be heated through the housing in heat transfer relationship with the collector element and a transparent heat trap disposed in the housing between the collector element and the front wall. The heat trap is made from a cellular structure containing a multiplicity of adjacent cells having walls which are integrally formed with the walls of other cells in one continuous piece from a thermoformable material. The thermoformable material used for the heat trap may be glass or a clear plastic composition which is opaque to infrared radiation emitted from the collector element.
