Abstract
An improved solar space heater collector may be constructed having a frame with extruded HDPE sides. The sides may have insulating pockets, as well as internally directed extensions for supporting at least one of insulation, absorbers, and/or baffles. Externally and downwardly directed fins may cooperate with shingles and/or flashing to facilitate a proper watertight connection of the collector to the roof. Finally, an improved jaw retainer may have a dual durometer grip which cooperates with a top glass.
Claims20
An improved solar space heater collector comprising:
- a frame having sides defining a heat chamber between a top plate and an absorber, wherein said sides have at least one insulating pocket defined between an inner wall and a support, and said heat chamber being enclosed except for an inlet and an outlet through which air is directed to be heated while in the heat chamber.
An improved solar space heater collector comprising:
- a frame having sides defining a heat chamber between a top plate and an absorber, wherein said sides have at least one cantilevered extending extension supporting at least one of an insulation panel and the absorber, and said heat chamber being enclosed except for an inlet and an outlet through which air is directed to be heated while in the heat chamber.
