Solar heat roofing system
A solar heat roofing system including a plurality of waterproof heat absorbing panels covering substantially the entire roof of a building is described. The panels are formed by a pair of waterproof sheets connected to each other by elongated spacers which form channels for the transfer fluid. The ends of the panels fit into elongated slots formed in inlet and outlet manifolds by linear, laterally projecting flanges. The manifolds, which are also secured to the roof, contain a fluid conduit communicating with the slots. Consequently, heat transfer fluid flowing into the inlet manifold conduit flows through the fluid channels in the panel where heat is absorbed, and the transfer fluid then flows from the outlet manifold conduit to a heat utilization device. 4 claims.
