Water heating capillary isothermal solar energy collector - uses porous rigid foam plastics on corrugated base with flexible pipes

摘要

The capillary isothermal collector is used for collecting solar energy and the solar energy is transferred directly to water to be heated. The system has low weight and it can be readily moved. The solar energy is used for heating water by the capillary effect of the collector substrate by storage effect. This is due to good insulation characteristics of the material used. The heated water can be fed directly without pipes into existing heating system in a house. The collectors (2) are made from rigid foam which is pressed into required shape. Flexible plastics hoses (3) are used for supplying and removing water. The water flow is ensured by a special substrate placed on corrugated base.
