Solar fluid preheating system having a thermosiphonic aperture and concentrating and accelerating convective nanolenses

摘要

In one aspect, the present disclosure includes a solar fluid preheating system having a storage heater tank configured to store fluid which is in the process of being heated. The storage heater tank is encased by a cover, thereby creating an aperture extending therebetween. In another aspect, the solar fluid preheating system includes a nanoimprint lithographic layer having a plurality of nanolenses configured to concentrate and accelerate solar radiation rays. In a further aspect, the solar fluid preheating system includes a fluid vacuum system in fluidic commutation with the storage heater tank.

主权项

1. A solar preheating system, comprising:
a storage heater tank configured to process and store fluid, wherein the storage heater tank is shaped as a sphere; a cover adapted to be received by the storage heater tank, wherein the storage heater tank is encased by the cover, wherein the cover is shaped as a sphere, wherein an outer surface of the storage heater tank and an inner surface of the cover are concentric and spaced apart to form a concentric space surrounding the outer surface of the storage heater tank, and wherein the concentric space comprises a vacuum; a base configured to support the solar preheating system; an inlet tube housed in the base and configured to distribute, through a fluid diffuser, cold fluid inside the storage heater tank, wherein the fluid diffuser is coupled to the inlet tube; an outlet tube housed in the base and configured to control flow of fluid; and a plurality of channels coupled to an inner side of the storage heater tank, the inner side of the storage heater tank facing the fluid to enhance convection of the fluid, wherein the plurality of channels is configured such that thermosiphonic action is created in the fluid of the tank where fluid ascends upwards through the plurality of channels when the fluid is heated, and wherein the ascending fluid is replaced by colder fluid located inside the storage heater tank.
