Abstract
A panel comprises a double glazed face (3) with integrally joined lenses (1) and optic fibres (2). The optic fibres are adjacently positioned with interlocking heat exchanger collars (4) in a coil configuration. The optic fibres terminate in a lens (5) levelled at a contoured base receiver plate (6). <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Solar energy heating collector panel
A solar energy/heating collector comprises a double glazed face panel (3) with integrally joined lenses (1) and optic fibres (2) which transmit light and heat.
The optic fibres are arranged in adjacent coil configurations with interlocking heat exchanger collars (4) to their full length. The heat exchanger collars (4) are of a selective asborbent material.
The optic fibres (2), surrounded by a flowing receiver medium, terminate in a lens (5), levelled at a contoured base plate (6) to dissipate any heat/energies not transmitted by the above.
The invention maximises use of the available solar heat energy by channelling via optic fibres to many collectors at its girth.
Energy/heat that would otherwise be reflected or lost is absorbed.
Residual heat energy is collected via terminal lenses at optic fibres and contoured base plate receiver.
