Solar heat-collector device

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7291659
A solar heat-collector device comprising in combination: an elongated tubular means for housing solar heat elements and for providing a transparent housing wall receivable of light rays therethrough; adjustable mounting means for rotatably supporting said elongated tubular means rotatably around a longitudinal axis of the elongated tubular means such that the elongated tubular means may be altered to and from intermittently for adjusting the position thereof for receipt of said light rays at variable angles relative to a fixed position of the adjustable mounting means; the elongated tubular means defining a substantially linearly extending transparent tube open at at-least one end thereof and defining therein a continuous channel between and including inlet and outlet structures for conductance of fluid therethrough, and solar heat elements including a substantially elongated metal plate within the tube positioned to substantially segregate the channel into upper and lower spaces and insulation elements positioned below said elongated metal plate within the lower space.
