Abstract
A thermally insulating curtain for windows and rooms provided with glass or transparent material. The curtain has an outer solar-energy-absorbing surface outside a thermally insulating layer. A space is disposed between the solar-energy-absorbing surface and a transparent layer situated outside the solar-energy-absorbing layer and/or between the solar-energy-absorbing surface and the thermally insulating layer. The curtain includes a structure that transports air through the space, and a fastener for arranging the curtain on the inside of a window, so that absorbed solar energy is supplied to the room behind the curtain.
Claims10
A thermally insulating curtain for a window of a room, comprising:
- an outer dark solar-energy-absorbing surface, wherein a first side of the outer dark solar-energy-absorbing surface faces an inner side of a windowpane;
- an inner thermally insulating layer that faces an opposite second side of the outer dark solar-energy-absorbing surface;
- a space that is at least one of situated between the first side of the outer solar-energy-absorbing surface and a transparent layer situated between the windowpane and first side of the outer dark solar-energy-absorbing surface or situated between the opposite second side of the outer solar-energy absorbing surface and the inner thermally insulating layer;
- an air transport structure configured to move air through the space;
- a fastener for arranging the thermally insulating curtain facing the inner side of the windowpane such that solar energy absorbed by the outer dark solar-energy-absorbing layer is transferred to air moved by the air transport structure through the space and supplied to the room;
- a fixed suspension rod disposed at a top of the curtain, the fixed suspension rod having an outlet opening for air moved by the air transport structure through the space;
- and
- outlet openings at a bottom of the curtain for air moved by the air transport structure through the space;
- wherein the inner thermally insulating layer comprises a plurality of air partitions mutually disposed at a distance from each other and extending parallel to the outer solar-energy-absorbing surface;
- each air partition individually sharing air with the room;
- and the transparent layer is flexible.
