ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improvement in variable vacuum steam heating systems and subatmospheric steam heating systems consisting of a solar energy collecting panel capable of performing as full or part time substitute for the conventional steam boilers of vacuum steam heating systems. Essentially, the collector is two semi rigid air tight panels laminated together to provide a thin air tight chamber between their inner surfaces in which condensate being returned to the collector from the usual steam radiators, convectors, blast coils, and other heating devices is changed into steam at temperatures up to 212.degree. F. under subatmospheric pressures by solar radiation. The collector panel is intended for roof or pad mounting in a semi-upright position and being piped into certain vacuum steam heating systems in a manner which allows the collector to remain in stand by or to work in parallel with the conventional boiler as a steam producer or to perform as full substitute for the conventional steam boiler automatically in accordance with prevailing weather conditions and the availability of solar radiation.
