Compounds for forming bodies for generating heat from radiant luminous energy, and methods of preparation and applications thereof
A compound for forming bodies for generating heat from radiant luminous energy consists of a fluid mixture of 30 to 50% by weight of a reticulatable resin and 70 to 50% by weight of an intimately mixed and finely divided charge, 30 to 60% of which by weight consists of an absorbent black charge and 70 to 40% of which by weight consists of a diffusing white charge. The compound may contain up to 25% glass fibers. The black charge may include one or more of the following: graphite and the oxides of iron, copper, manganese, nickel and cobalt. The white charge may contain one or more of the following: alkaline earth carbonates and sulphates and the oxides of silicon, beryllium, magnesium, aluminium, zirconium, and thorium. The compound is prepared by homogenously mixing in a mixing mill at ambient temperature. The heat generating bodies are formed by casting and polymerizing the compound. A solar panel for heating a fluid is formed by casting and polymerizing the compound round a plane nest of tubes. A radiator is formed by casting and polymerizing the compound in contact with a heat source. A device for heating bodies of water such as the contents of swimming pools comprises such bodies exposed to the sun and slightly submerged in the water, either attached to the pool walls or floating on the pool surface. A submersible device can be used for heating water near the pool bottom.
