SOLAR WATER HEATING PLANT Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: solar power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: solar water heating plant comprises transparent vacuum multiple glass pane, heat insulated housing, and water supply and water distributing cocks. The housing is separated with a heat insulating baffle into two sections. The top section is used for heating water by solar radiation absorbed by the bottom and walls of the section. The bottom section is used for accumulating the water heated in the top section. The plant is provided with the valve which is controlled with the thermal gauge and is used for the overflowing water from the top section to the bottom section and overflow pipes that are also drain pipes. The plant also has the device with anti-evaporator to prevent condensate to be settled out on the inner side of the transparent vacuum multiple glass pane when a gap is presented between the multiple glass pane and water surface and instruments for visual monitoring of temperature and water lever in both of the sections. The housing is made of fiber glass and foam concrete. The transparent vacuum multiple glass pane is secured to the housing by means of locks through the flexible spacer.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency.
