Solar heat collector with partitioned air chambers - has shortened lengthwise walls leaving chamber top undivided

摘要

The solar heat collector generates warmed air, having air chambers inclined to the horizontal with partitions and light-permeable cover plates, in which the air flowing in from the surroundings is heated and drawn off at the top via a buspipe. The lengthwise walls, which cross the continuous cross-walls and extend from bottom to top, are shortened, so that the undivided top transverse portion of the chamber forms the buspipe. The lengthwise walls are continuous, while the transverse ones have openings offset from each other. Thus the heated air flows through the chambers between adjacent lengthwise walls in a zigzag pattern.
