MODULAR SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTOR FOR OPTIMIZING CONVERSION EFFICIENCY BY TESTING AND INCREASING ARCHITECTURAL ACCEPTANCE

摘要

The invention relates to a modular plane flat solar thermal collector of various geometric shapes, having detachably mounted interchangeable components and the possibility of modifying constructive parameters, meant to test the functional behaviour of components with various combinations, in compatible assemblies, with a view to optimizing the energetic efficiency and to increasing the architectural acceptance when implemented on the facade of a building. According to the invention, the collector consists of a casing () having a glazing plate () of higher optical performance, an absorbing plate () which can be either monochromatic or polychromatic, obtained by assembling polygon sectors of various coulours, a pipe circuit () for the circulation of a heating medium, which is fixed on the back part of the absorbing plate () by means of a flexible self-adhesive support () and some semi-circular clamps () with fastening tabs, a solid thermal insulation () arranged within the casing () in the back and lateral parts, with a central upper recess wherein the pipe circuit () is inserted, a back supporting plate () and a system for adjusting the distance between the glazing plate () and the absorbing plate ().
