Modular construction for solar heat collector
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6032716
An open top housing member, the top being arranged to be closed by a solar radiation transparent covering, is arranged to be mounted in side by side and end to end relationship with similar members to provide a large area solar heat absorber unit, and each housing member includes passageways for the flow of fluids, such as air, and means for joining the members at the passageways, thereby providing an inlet fluid manifold at one edge of the combined housings and an outlet fluid manifold at the opposite edge of the housings providing the transfer of heat absorbed by the unit to the transfer fluid. Generally, the housing members are made of lightweight sheet metal and may be secured together either by crimping edges and flanges of adjoining members or lateral mechanical pressure at the passageways, and each is provided with an adjustable gate member for varying the flow pattern of the fluid through each individual member.
