DEVICE FOR UTILIZATION OF SOLAR ENERGY Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: utilization of solar energy in construction of domestic and industrial buildings. SUBSTANCE: solar collector which simultaneously performs function of air-conditioner is made in form of wall panel directed southward; outer surface of this panel is provided with transparent heat-insulating material possessing high transmission factor in visible range and high thermal resistance coefficient. Solar collector is connected with inter-season heat accumulator by means of heat-transfer agent circulating lines through reservoir and thermal pump; cold loop of thermal pump is connected with reservoir and hot loop is connected with inter-season heat accumulator. Circulating heattransfer agent pipes are laid at distance not exceeding 0.2 m from external surface of wall panel, inside this panel. Solar radiation is admitted to external surface of wall panel protected by transparent heat-insulating material transferring thermal energy to heat-transfer agent, water for Example circulating in pipes. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of utilization of solar energy. 2 cl, 4 dwg
