ABSTRACT:
A tube mat for a solar collector is comprised of a plurality of identical tube strips each in turn formed with a plurality of parallel longitudinally extending tubes including two edge tubes at opposite longitudinal edges of the strip and inner tubes between the edge tubes and respective longitudinally extending webs transversely interconnecting the inner tubes and connecting the edge tubes to the inner tubes along their full lengths with all of the tubes lying in a plane. Thus each edge tube has an inner edge joined by the respective web to the adjacent inner tube and an opposite outer edge. A respective U-section flexible seal is provided on each edge tube. Each seal has an inner lip joined to the outer edge of the respective edge tube along the full length thereof and an outer edge spaced outward therefrom and defining with the respective inner lip a longitudinally extending groove open perpendicular to the plane of the strip. These grooves of the seals are generally complementary to the outer lips and open oppositely from the strip plane. As a result the outer leg of the seal at one edge of a strip can be engaged in the groove of the seal of the outer tube of an adjacent strip to join these two strips together along their full lengths.
