Solar heating collector
An air solar heating collector assembly is provided having a framework covered by a back plate and a transparent front cover with a thin metal absorber plate mounted centrally therebetween. Baffle members are mounted on both surfaces of the absorber plate and are arranged for alternately splitting and recombining the air flow along both surfaces of the absorber plate. The back plate has air inlet means at one end of the assembly and air outlet means at the other end of the assembly arranged so that the air is admitted simultaneously to and discharged simultaneously from the passages at both sides of the absorber plate. The baffle arrangement is complementary on opposite sides of the absorber plate so that in each region where splitting of the air flow occurs at one side of the plate, recombining of air flow occurs in the corresponding region at the opposite side of the plate.
