Roofing tile with thermal conduction device - has metal sheets attached to underside of tile and having projecting contacts to clip onto heat carrying pipe

摘要

The concrete or ceramic roofing tile (10) has a thermal conduction device in the form of metal sheets (20a,20b) attached to its underside. Planar metal contacts (30a,30b) project from the underside of the sheets and are adapted to clip on a pipe (40) which extends up the roof and carries a heat carrier medium. The pipe is part of grid fixed to a roof structure for collecting heat absorbed by the tiles. The sheet-metal strips (30a,30b) may be of the same material as the thermal conduction sheets.
