SOLAR PANEL

摘要

A solar panel having an interior insulated heat storage means, a solar radiation collector wall mounted on a first side of the storage means having a collector surface for exposure to solar radiation and a heat emitter wall mounted on a second side of the heat storage means opposite the first side having an emitter surface for exposure to a space to be heated. The panel further includes a collector fluid conducting path for the conduction of collector fluid around an endless loop from a primary portion where there is heat exchanging contact with the collector wall to a secondary portion where there is heat exchanging contact with an emitter fluid in the interior heat storage means. Emitter fluid is contained within an emitter fluid conducting path which moves around an endless loop from a primary portion where there is heat exchanging contact with the collector fluid and the heat storage means to a secondary portion where there is heat exchanging contact with the emitter wall. A heat exchanger panel located within the interior heat storage means has an outer surface in thermally conductive association with the collector fluid in the secondary portion of the collector fluid path and an inner surface in thermally conductive association with the emitter fluid in the primary portion of the emitter path. The collector and the emitter walls each are made of a heat conducting sheet material. The panel construction provides an improved heat collection and transfer efficiency to an interior space to be heated.
