Solar absorber plate design

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6520571
A heat exchange panel is described possessing a system of internal fluid passageways defining at least two longitudinally extended headers extending substantially the length of the panel, a connecting header located at one end of the panel in a direction transverse to the longitudinally extended headers and interconnecting same, a plurality of connecting portions of said passageways extending transversely between the respective longitudinally extended headers, and fluid exit and entry portions extending longitudinally from at least two of said headers. The configuration of the headers serves to reduce pressure drop while maintaining uniformity of fluid flow under high velocity, and renders the panel eminently suitable for solar energy applications.
