Solar heat collector tank

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6880952
A solar heat collector is described. A thin evacuated tank has upper and lower parallel sides, the upper side having a black exterior surface, the tank being mounted at an angle to the horizontal. A small amount of vaporizable fluid is contained in the tank. A fluid conduit is connected in heat exchanging relation with the upper end of the tank. Solar rays striking said upper tank surface will vaporize the fluid in the tank and the vapor will flow to the upper portion of the tank where it will be condensed and transfer its heat to fluid in the conduit.
