Abstract
A heat collector (10, 20) includes a heat absorption surface (12, 22), an opposite heat focus surface (11, 21) and one or more surrounding sides (13, 23). A matrix (24) of the heat collector is a thermally conductive material. There is an adiabatic dope (25) mixed within the matrix. A relative concentration distribution of the adiabatic dope increases from the heat absorption surface to the heat focus surface, and decreases from the surrounding sides to a center of the heat collector. The shape of the heat collector can be rectangular, cylindrical, prismatic, plate-shaped, square, or polyhedral. The heat collector can draw heat generated from electrical components, and collect the generated heat for reuse in order to enhance energy efficiency.
Claims11
A heat collector comprising two opposite surfaces and one or more surrounding sides;
- wherein a matrix of the heat collector is made from a thermally conductive material;
- an adiabatic dope selected from a group consisting of polymers, ceramics, silicon oxides, and asbestos is mixed within the matrix;
- and a relative concentration distribution of said adiabatic dope increases from one of the opposite surfaces to the other opposite surface, and decreases from the surrounding sides to the center of the heat collector.
