ABSTRACT:
A passive solar water heater comprising a collector enclosure having a transparent upper surface and a curved, reflective inner surface and end walls. A storage tank within the collector enclosure is positioned to be heated by the sun's rays both directly and reflected from the inner surface of the collector enclosure. The storage tank has a cylindrical wall and opposed end walls. A first pipe extends through and is attached to one end wall along the longitudinal axis of the storage tank and extends to a position adjacent the cylindrical wall, inside the storage tank. A second pipe extends through the other end wall, along the longitudinal axis of the storage tank, to a second position in the storage tank, also adjacent the cylindrical wall. The first and second positions are generally diametrically opposed to each other. The first and second pipes extend through the end walls of the collector enclosure to support the storage tank within the collector enclosure. The relative positions of the collector enclosure, the storage tank and mounting frame can be fixed as desired.
