Patent
·
OSTI ID:6445743
A solar collector is disclosed utilizing elongated channel-shaped reflector members which comprise modified parabolas in cross-section to reflect sun rays onto straight sections of a tubular conductor of heat-transfer fluid located substantially along the focal lines of said reflector members and being oval in cross-section to intercept the rays of the sun as the position of the sun rises above and falls below the central axes of said reflector members, a series of said reflector members and conductors being horizontal in use for gravity drain and flow and the ends of the straight sections being connected to provide a sinous tube system. An insulating frame supports said reflector members and tube systems and a transparent cover extends across the outer face in use.
