HEAT PIPE SOLAR COLLECTOR Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F24J2/06 F24J3/08 F24J2/24 

FIELD: solar power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heat pipe solar collectors and it can be used in heat supply of buildings. Parabolic reflectors are installed under light transparent coating of collector and over absorbing pipes which form uninterrupted corrugated panel provided with liquid lenses in lower part. Liquid lenses and arranged over absorbing pipes coaxially with pipes. Liquid prismatic reflectors are installed under convexities of panel corrugations, and on side walls of housing plate reflectors are hinge fastened, being interconnected by polymeric film with metallized coating. Hinge fastening of plate reflectors makes it possible to set angle of their tilting to provide optimum position for each climatic region and concentrate radiation on absorbing pipes arranged in peripheral zone. Connection of separate plates by polymeric film with metallized coating precludes getting of sun rays onto side walls of housing which considerably reduces heat losses through side walls.

EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities.
