- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/768,723 titled “HEATING SYSTEM FOR INSTALLATION UNDER ANY TYPE OF ROOFING MATERIAL”, filed on Feb. 25, 2013 and incorporated fully herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to roofing systems and more particularly, relates to a various components that together provide a solar hot water heating system that is capable of being installed and used under almost any type of roofing material such a an asphalt roof, metal roof or the like.
- The installation of solar hot water heating systems on a roof is not quite yet commonplace. A roof provides a relatively large area exposed to solar heat and is an ideal location for a solar collector. Currently, available roof mounted solar water heaters do suffer from several drawbacks. First, roof mounted existing solar water heaters are rather large and might be considered by some as unsightly. Secondly, the existing roof mounted solar water heating systems are not compatible with all roof types. For example, a solar water heating system designed for a metal roof will generally not be usable under or on an asphalt covered roof and vice-versa. Moreover, existing roof mounted solar water heating systems are incapable of being mounted under the roofing material thus making them essentially invisible while providing the same benefits of solar heat collection.
- Accordingly, what is needed is a system which allows a solar hot water heating assembly to be mounted under any type of roofing material thereby rendering it essentially invisible while at the same time providing all of the benefits of solar heat collection and capture by the heating system.
- The present invention features a system for quickly, easily and inexpensively facilitating the attachment of various solar water heating components to the roof of a structure in a panel form. The system comprises a plurality of vertical structural members, configured to be installed on an existing roof and even perhaps over an existing roofing member be it plywood, asphalt shingles, rolled asphalt material, rubber roofing, steel or metal roofing or the like. The vertical structural member is preferably in the form of a channel member having an open bottom region which allows tabs to be “punched” out of the top surface of the vertical structural member prior to installation of module components. The tabs are configured to engage with one leg of a heat transfer plate while a second leg of the heat transfer plate is configured to be fastened into the vertical structural member utilizing fastener such as a screw, nail, rivet or the like.
- The invention also features a plurality of heat transfer plates. Each of the plurality of heat transfer plates includes a first end and a second end. Each heat transfer plate further includes a first generally “Z” shaped leg and a second generally “Z” shaped leg. Between the 2 “Z” shaped legs is a generally flat region that includes a partially circular channel which serves to hold a plastic, composite, PVC or other type of pipe or conduit which carries water or other liquid medium and which, by virtue of its contact with the partially circular channel, conducts and transfers solar energy in the form of heat from the heat transfer plate to the liquid medium which is circulated inside the conduit.
- The system of the invention also includes a plurality of nailer members. One nailer member is located between every heat transfer plate. Each nailer is comprised of a material such as wood, composite, plastic or the like and is designed to receive fasteners for nailing or otherwise holding down a roofing product which will be installed on top of the assembly. Each nailer may also be coated or wrapped with a heat conductive material such as aluminum or the like.
- The invention also features a plurality of end nailer plates. A first one of the plurality of end nailer plates is disposed proximate each first end of the each of the plurality of heat transfer plates while a second one of the plurality of end nailer plates is disposed proximate each second end of each of the plurality of heat transfer plates. Each end nailer plate includes a groove of an appropriate size and radius to accommodate an appropriate and desired bend in the conduit such that once installed, the end nailer plate provides a generally flat surface in connection with the top surface of the nailer plate and the top surface of the heat transfer plate to allow roofing material, such as asphalt roofing shingles and the like to be installed over the assembly. Each end nailer plate may also be coated or wrapped with a heat conductive material such as aluminum or the like.
