Flat plate solar collector panel having extruded thermal conductors
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6324490
A solar collector panel is disclosed wherein heat absorbed in a collector plate having a broad, uniformly flat surface area may be conducted by a plurality of thermal conductors to a fluid flowing through pipes that are arrayed over the flat surface area of the collector plate. Each of the thermal conductors has broad flat surfaces in contact with the flat surface of the collector plate on opposite sides of the pipe, and an inner surface in mating contact with most of the pipe. The thickness of the thermal conductor increases from the extreme ends of its broad flat surfaces toward its inner surface. The thermal conductors are aluminum extrusions. A thermal joint compound is applied between the thermal conductors and the contacted surfaces of the pipes and the collector plate.
