Abstract
The advanced hybrid tank is a multifunctional tank with a shape that makes for easy construction and assembly while maximizing the ability of thermal syphoning. This invention can store an inlet liquid and thermal energy from a thermal collector, for outlet usage in multiple applications. The tank typically has a coupling side and a thermal syphoning side which together allows for coupling with an advanced PV cooling panel, an advanced thermal focusing panel, or a roof structure.
Claims16
I claim an advanced hybrid tank, an apparatus for containing a liquid and with the tank having a shape to both maximize thermal syphoning and allow coupling with a support structure and an upper covering, comprising;
- a tank shell to define a liquid type chamber;
- a base side;
- a thermal syphon side;
- a coupling side;
- an inlet and outlet connection or plurality of connections;
- with the thermal syphon side having an inlet connection or plurality of inlet connections;
- with the coupling side having a desired pitch between 10 degrees and 75 degree below horizontally level;
- with the thermal syphon side being approximately perpendicular to the coupling side;
- and consisting of glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, cast metal, a metal sheeting such as copper, or any combination thereof.
I claim an advanced PV cooling panel, an apparatus for thermal transfer with photovoltaic cells and coupling with a liquid tank, wherein the panel is assembled with a pipe or plurality of pipes embedded, with photovoltaic cells embedded or applied, and a method of making the advanced PV cooling panel, comprising;
- a panel;
- a pipe or plurality of pipes;
- a photovoltaic cell or plurality of photovoltaic cells;
- with said panel consisting of metal, plastic, glass, or any combination thereof;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes aligned linearly and embedded with the panel;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes consisting of metal, plastic, glass, or any combination thereof;
- and the method of producing the panel with plumbing and photovoltaic cells embedded, comprising;
- a pipe or plurality of pipes;
- a panel ply or plurality of panel plies;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes being fused to a ply or plurality of plies;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes having an inlet and outlet connection or plurality of connections;
- with photovoltaic cells as a ply or applied to the upper ply;
- and having electrical connections to said photovoltaic cells.
I claim an advanced thermal focusing panel, an apparatus for thermal transfer and coupling with a liquid tank, wherein the panel is assembled with a pipe or plurality of pipes embedded, with lens rods being embedded or applied, and a method of making said advanced thermal focusing panel, comprising;
- a panel;
- a pipe or plurality of pipes;
- a lens rod or plurality of lens rods;
- with said panel consisting of metal, plastic, glass, or any combination thereof;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes aligned linearly and embedded with the panel;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes consisting of metal, plastic, glass, or any combination thereof;
- with the lens rod or plurality of lens rods having a diameter to make a focal point on the upper surface of opaque type pipes;
- with the lens rod or plurality of lens rods having a diameter to make a focal point at the core of clear type pipes;
- with the lens rod or plurality of lens rods positioned above said pipe or plurality of pipes and fused to the panel;
- and the method of producing the panel with plumbing and lens rods embedded, comprising;
- a pipe or plurality of pipes;
- a lens rod or plurality of lens rods;
- a panel ply or plurality of panel plies;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes being fused to a ply or plurality of plies;
- with said pipe or plurality of pipes having an inlet and outlet connection or plurality of connections;
- and with lens rods fused to an upper panel ply.
