Abstract
A building using solar energy for heating and cooling is disclosed. The building comprises a fluid channel arranged for a fluid to transfer absorbed solar heat, a solar heat storage bank to store and supply the solar heat, and a mechanism for directing and controlling the flow of the fluid throughout the building. A insulating glass style solar heat collector (IGSHC) as a building element comprises a insulating glass means; a replaceable solar heat absorber removably received in a slot in the hollow space of the insulating glass, and separates the space into two subspaces; a fluid channel is thermally connected to the solar heat absorber for heat transferring; and a mechanism for directing and controlling the flow of said fluid.
Claims31
A building using solar energy for heating and cooling, comprises:
- a building element having a solar heat absorber collecting solar heat;
- a fluid channel arranged in said building element for a fluid to transfer the absorbed solar heat for heating building or to removing heat for cooling building;
- and
- a mechanism for directing and controlling the flow of said fluid;
- wherein said building element comprising an insulating glass style solar heat collector (IGSHC), comprising:
- an insulating glass means, formed from two transparent sheets and a spacer to form a closed hollow space;
- said solar heat absorber arranged in said hollow space, and separating said hollow space into a first subspace and a second subspace;
- said fluid channel thermally connected with said solar heat absorber for heat transfer, said channel connected to a convergent tube, which is located outside of said hollow space;
- and
- an air inlet and an air outlet, arranged at two sides of said first or second space, for drawing heated air out from one of the first subspace and the second subspace, each of the air inlet and air outlet having a respective cover for closing or opening said air channel.
A insulating glass style solar heat collector (IGSHC), comprises:
- an insulating glass means, formed from two transparent sheets and a spacer to form a hollow space;
- a removable solar heat absorber removably received in a slot in said hollow space, and separating said space into a first subspace and a second subspace;
- a fluid channel thermally connected with said solar heat absorber for heat transfer;
- a mechanism for directing and controlling the flow of said fluid;
- said solar heat absorber arranged in said hollow space, and separating said hollow space into a first subspace and a second subspace;
- said fluid channel thermally connected with said solar heat absorber for heat transfer, said channel connected to a convergent tube, which is located outside of said hollow space;
- and
- an air inlet and an air outlet, arranged at two sides of said first or second space, for drawing heated air out from one of the first subspace and the second subspace, each of the air inlet and air outlet having a respective cover for closing or opening said air channel.
