Heat exchanger panel having reference indicia and improved flow distribution
In a heat exchanger panel for use in a solar energy collector system, said panel comprising a plurality of spaced parallel individual tubular passageways connecting opposed headers defined by numerous island-like bonded portions connected by a plurality of tubular channels passing therebetween, the boundaries of said headers defining a generally triangular shape with at least one of said boundaries being inclined with respect to an edge of said panel, said headers including entry and exit portions to said panel, siad entry and exit portions being laterally displaced from the center of said panel to permit a heat exchange medium to flow into said panel and across said headers so that said medium flows through each of the plurality of spaced parallel indiviual tubular passageways connecting said headers; and said parallel individual tubular passageways being interconnected by further tubular interconnecting portions spaced from said headers the improvement wherein said tubular interconnecting portions are arranged across said panel at an inclination generally corresponding to the inclination of said at least one boundary.
