Abstract
ABSTRACT
A system for heating water with solar energy is disclosed.
The system comprises of a number of copper tubes which are mounted into a wooden frame and connected by means of plastic piping to the pool pump and the pool. A mirror is mounted behind these copper pipes, a glass panel is mounted above these copper pipes. The water circulates from the pool pump through these copper pipes into the pool. The heat rays of the sun pass through the glass onto the mirror where they are reflected onto the copper tubing which as a result heats the water passing through these pipes.
The glass may be hammered or clear. The size of the glass and the side of the mirror must match the size of the wooden frame.
The pipes must be copper to best retain heat.

Description
Z01 !3746 This invention rela-tes generally to s~stems fsr heating water with solar energy.
A problem which is common with other solar pan~s is that they are not efM cient. If a garden hose is layed on the roof like many people do, they ~ind that because they are ~ot enclosed, the ~ind r~bs them of heat. Black panels have been ussd in the past, but I have fou~d black is not as efficient as using a c~mbination of glass and mirror. Because my system is enclosed9 the heat can build up. My system has been in operatic~ ~or 6 years. With glass and mirror you will get infer red rays t~apped between the mirror and the glass. This b~ild up of heat ~ill heat the water passing through the tubingO This tremendous build up of heat is necessary to sufficiently heat the wa-ter. My panels are Plso efficient on cloudy~ ha~y days~ when other systems will Pail. In spring and fall they are alway9 50 degrees above the outside temperature. They will range in spring ~orm 100 to 120 degrees; in summer ~hen the out~ide temperature i~ gO to 90 degrees~ -they reach 150 degrees.
The amount o~ 40 gal. per minute circulate through and heat the water pa~3i~g through by one degree. They will heat 20~000 gals~
of water in 8 hrs. by a total of 6 degrees. Since operating with 3 panels, ~or the past 6 years~ I have saved about 300 to ~0. dollars per year on propane heat.
