SOLAR-ENERGY COLLECTOR Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: solar-energy engineering. SUBSTANCE: mounted in collector chamber between plates fastened over perimeter are flow-through pipe lines in direction from inlet branch pipe to outlet branch pipe in spaced relation to them. One clearance is used as distributing passage and other clearance is used as collecting passage. Pipe lines are secured to plates at points of their contact. Heat-transfer agent flows both through and in between the pipes. Practically heat-transfer agent flows over entire surface between plates. EFFECT: simplified construction and enhanced thermal and heat characteristics owing to extended surface of heat exchange. 3 dwg
