Abstract
The instant invention relates to a solar energy heating module comprising a sealable chamber having cross-flow radiator means therein dividing the chamber into a fluid inlet compartment and a fluid outlet compartment, and, preferably, at least one perforated sleeve in said inlet compartment. The invention also comprises an assembly of the modules into a unitary heater having a common intake manifold.
Claims6
A solar energy module comprising a sealable chamber having cross-flow radiator means having honeycomb cells and dividing said chamber into fluid inlet and outlet compartments, means to supply fluid to said inlet chamber including at least one perforated sleeve extending through said inlet compartment and supported by said chamber, and a perforated manifold extending through said inlet compartment and generally concentrically disposed within said perforated sleeve, wherein said manifold and said sleeve are positionable relative to each other for enabling adjustment in direction and volume of fluid flow through said sleeve.
A solar energy heating assembly comprising a plurality of modules including a sealable chamber having cross-flow radiator means having honeycomb cells and dividing said chamber into fluid inlet and outlet compartments, means to supply fluid to said inlet chamber including at least one perforated sleeve extending through said inlet compartment and supported by said chamber, and a perforated manifold extending through said inlet compartment and generally concentrically disposed within said perforated sleeve, each of said modules abutted together wherein said manifold and said sleeve are positionable relative to each other for enabling adjustment in direction and volume of fluid flow through said sleeve.
