Abstract
A direct accumulation tank, defining a closed volume (2), comprising an inlet (3) for filling the tank with a fluid, and an outlet (4) for emptying the tank of the fluid, and exhibiting an upper surface (Ia) exposed to solar rays. The upper surface (Ia) exhibits a plurality of reliefs (5, . . . 5n) for defining a greater surface extension exposed to the solar rays.
Claims18
A direct accumulation tank, defining a closed volume (2), comprising an inlet (3) for filling the tank with a fluid, and an outlet (4) for emptying the tank of the fluid, and exhibiting an upper surface (1a) exposed to solar rays;
- the upper surface (1a) exhibiting a plurality of reliefs (5, . . . 5n) for defining a greater surface extension exposed to the solar rays;
- the outlet (4) exhibiting a transversal orientation with respect to the inlet (3);
- the outlet (4), at a lower tract thereof, being subdivided into a first chamber (4a) and a second chamber (4b).
A direct accumulation tank, defining a closed volume (2), comprising an inlet (3) for filling the tank with a fluid, and an outlet (4) for emptying the tank of the fluid, and exhibiting an upper surface (1a) exposed to solar rays;
- wherein the upper surface (1a) exhibits a plurality of reliefs (5, . . . 5n) for defining a greater surface extension exposed to the solar rays;
- the inlet (3) and the outlet (4) being in reciprocal hydraulic communication via a plurality of conduits (6 . . . 6n), reciprocally connected in series and defining the closed volume (2) of the tank (1);
- wherein the plurality of conduits (6, . . . 6n) comprises:
- a first conduit (6) in hydraulic communication with the inlet (3) via a first opening (7);
- a final conduit (6n), in hydraulic communication with the outlet (4) via a final opening (7n);
- a series of intermediate conduits (6′, . . . 6n-1), each contiguous and in hydraulic communication with a preceding and a successive intermediate conduit (6′, . . . 6n-1) via a respective intermediate opening (7, . . . 7n-1), and wherein the first opening, the final opening and the intermediate openings (7, . . . 7n) are alternatedly arranged with respect to a separating wall (8) crossing the plurality of conduits (6, . . . 6n).
