摘要 |
The invention is directed to a monitoring system for concentrating varying amounts of heat onto a heat transfer fluid and concentrating varying amounts of heat and diffused light into the interior of an enclosed structure. The system comprises a substantially closed unit comprising vertical and horizontal transparent windows and first and second reflectors for directing heat and light into the enclosure during winter months. The system also includes heat absorption means including a trough for transporting a heat transfer fluid between the first window and the trough. The trough includes a heat absorptive surface for absorbing at least some of the heat transmitted through the first window towards the trough and for transmitting from the first window diffused light and heat through the trough into the interior of the enclosed structure.
