MULTIFUNCTIONAL SOLAR COLLECTOR Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F24J2/26 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: multifunctional solar collector consists of a housing 1 coated by heat-insulating material 2, with absorber 4 under transparent enclosure 3 with longitudinal metal tubes 5, and metal grids 6 with longitudinal polymeric tubes 8 mounted above absorber 4. The polymeric tubes 8 consist of longitudinal segments 10, connected to each other by thermal welding, and therefore they contain the sections of metal grids 9. On the external surface of longitudinal polymeric tubes 8, facing towards the transparent enclosure 3, photoelectric devices 11 are fixed. The longitudinal tubes, polymeric 8 and metal ones 5, are located chequerwise and connected to each other by the intermediate camera.

EFFECT: such design of device allows more completely trap solar radiation, heating the heat transfer medium up to high temperatures, and to get the electric power, prolonging the service life of photoelectric devices at the expense of their timely cooling.
