Sheet-flow concrete solar collector
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6280602
An open-flow concrete flat-plate solar collector has a grooved photothermal conversion surface coated with an impermeable selective coating of high capillarity. A special header insures spreading of the heat transfer fluid over the photothermal conversion surface even if the collector is not perfectly level. The collector is used in a closed loop heat exchanger system or a closed loop thermosiphoning system with, as a heat transfer fluid , distilled water to which is added an antistatic agent. The collector may be free-standing, or it can be added onto an existing inclined roof, or incorporated as an integral part of such roof. This collector preferably is used for applications up to 150* F.
