Solar radiation collection system and method

摘要

The invention relates to a radiant energy powered water heating methods and apparatus, particularly, to the open-loop solar radiation collection systems. At least one nozzle is directed against a reflection surface facing an evaporation surface to spray at least one jet with reflection to diffuse the fluid within the inner cavity in an atomized plume having the evaporation surface been moisturized by a part of the sprayed fluid and said moisturizing part of the sprayed fluid been sufficiently vaporized or evaporated (see FIG. 3).

主权项

1. A reflection-atomizing spray system for collecting heat, such as solar radiant energy, by heating fluid, such as water, the system comprising a supply means, in order to supply the fluid under pressure, and at least one heat-collection element having an inner cavity; said at least one heat-collection element comprises:
a heat-transmission wall having an opaque evaporation surface in order to facilitate the fluid vaporization or evaporation from the evaporation surface within the inner cavity; at least one jet-reflection surface situated within the inner cavity; an inner cavity outlet means in order to evacuate the fluid from the inner cavity; and an adjustable spray means being in fluid communication with the supply means and comprising at least one nozzle in order to spray the fluid in at least one jet within the inner cavity, and wherein:
the at least one jet-reflection surface is positioned facing toward the evaporation surface;the at least one nozzle is directed away from the evaporation surface onto the at least one jet-reflection surface in order to have the at least one jet reflected from the at least one jet-reflection surface with a reflection direction onto the evaporation surface having the at least one reflected jet atomized in a plume within the inner cavity and the evaporation surface moisturized by the fluid in the plume.
