Abstract

A solar collector comprises an evacuated envelope 10 transmissive of solar radiation, an absorber plate 11 within the envelope for absorbing solar radiation passing through the envelope, and a heat pipe 12 in thermal contact with the plate internally of the envelope and which extends out of the envelope to a condenser 14. The heat pipe contains a working fluid which is evaporated in the envelope by heat from the plate and condensed externally of the envelope in the condenser. The condenser 14 comprises a thermally conductive transfer pipe 15 for containing a heat transfer fluid and a jacket 17 surrounding the transfer pipe, the interior of the jacket being in communication with the heat pipe externally of the envelope so that working fluid vapour may enter the jacket from the heat pipe for condensation in the jacket. <IMAGE> [GB2213258A]
