Abstract

A cooperative heat transfer and ground coupled storage system wherein collected solar heat energy is ground stored and permitted to radiate into the adjacent ground for storage therein over an extended period of time when such heat energy is seasonally maximally available. Thereafter, when said heat energy is seasonally minimally available and has propagated through the adjacent ground a substantial distance, the stored heat energy may be retrieved by a circumferentially arranged heat transfer means having a high rate of heat transfer.

Potential for ground coupled storage within the series solar assisted heat pump system

Conference Metz, P D

The potential for ground coupling in the series solar heat pump system is explored. The ground is a thermal medium of high heat capacity, low conductivity, and a heat source and sink of virtually limitless extent. Throughout the continental United States, the natural ground temperature a few feet below the surface normally averages about 55/sup 0/F. Thus, the ground is a plausible additional element useful in solar heat pump systems. This new resource permits seasonal energy storage and transfer. That is, during the summer and fall surplus energy is delivered to the ground by the solar collectors which are otherwisemore »« less

Thermal energy transfer device

Patent Pardo, J

A thermal energy device is disclosed and generally includes one or more collector means for receiving and storing thermal energy, movable thermal reflector means, fixed thermal reflector means, and actuation apparatus for rotating the movable thermal reflector means about said collector means. The movable thermal reflector means preferably include thermal insulation means for preventing undesirable heat gain or loss and are rotated between a first position wherein the reflector means are positioned between the collector means and the interior of a building structure and function to reflect and concentrate exterior ambient thermal energy on to the collectors for storage therein.more »« less
Tethered submarine pressure transfer storage facility for liquified energy gases

Patent Harrison, D B

An improved offshore submarine storage facility in the ocean and like water bodies for storing liquified energy gases and similar liquid materials under pressure and at cryogenic temperatures is disclosed. The facility includes a two-part insulated submarine storage tank positioned at a selected depth in the water for storing said materials, wherein the two parts thereof move in a slidably sealing engagement relative to each other to form an insulated compression storage chamber. The tank also includes ambient water pressure transfer means for transferring external ambient water pressure to the materials stored therein. Mechanical pressure transfer devices increase the pressuremore »« less
