ABSTRACT:
A system for utilizing and storing solar energy which includes the use of solar collectors attached to liquid tubes or unidirectional heat pipes for transferring solar flux into heat energy for instant uses and storing the heat energy into earth ground for auxiliary and long-term uses. An expanding array of heat conductive pipes distributes the heat throughout a large volume of underground earth and extracts the same when it is required. The system provides for long-duration earth storage of the heat energy which can later be used as independent source for both space heating and hot water heating in homes, multiple-unit housing, commercial and public buildings, swimming pools, greenhouses, industrial needs, etc.
A unidirectional heat pipe, characterized by irreversible heat flow, including a pump arrangement for transferring working fluid from the non-wicking condenser section to the evaporator section of the said heat pipe.
