Solar energy collection device
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6533244
A solar heat energy collector device is disclosed wherein the sun's rays strike a collector located in an insulated enclosure. The heat energy from the sun is transferred to this collector. Also forming part of the collector are conduits which contain a fluid which absorbs the heat from the collector. The heated fluid is circulated outside of the device to a remote point for utilization in any desired manner. The collector is constructed so as to be able to absorb not only the sun's rays which directly strike it but also to absorb a portion of the rays which are reflected from the collector after directly striking it. This is accomplished by providing a collector formed in the shape of a plurality of adjoining tubes each having a longitudinally extending opening therein to permit the sun's rays to strike the interior of the tubes and be captured therein in addition to striking the exterior of the tubes.
