Solar heating systems

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5384987
A solar heating system is described for converting the sun's rays into heat, comprising a level heat absorbtive element whose underside is adapted to absorb solar radiation and to convert it into heat, the absorbtive element being provided with means to conduct the absorbed heat away to be used for heating, reflector means arranged below said heat absorbtive element adjustably positioned to project solar heat rays onto said absorbtive element. The reflector means is movable into an inoperative protected position when not in use. The heat absorbtive element is protected against heavy loss by an insulated housing trapping dead air underneath said heat absorbtive element and is adapted to allow heat radiation to pass from said reflector means to said heat absorbtive element. 1 claim, 6 figures.
