Description

VACUUM GLASS CASSETTE / WINDOW
INVENTION DESCRIPTION
The field of the invention
This invention refers to / is to be applied as insulation serving to decrease the loss of the warmth energy at flat-plate solar collectors, windows and the like.
Technical problem
In everyday life, we come across technical solutions in which essential warmth losses occur, as is the case with:
• flat-plate solar collectors
• windows in residential buildings and social/agricultural buildings.
State of technique
Vacuum flat-plate solar collectors and vacuum windows are rarely present in the market. The reason for this lies in the vacuum (we talk here about 1...100 mbar) in a cassette/window, due to which at the front and back part of the cassette/window great pressure force is being produced (so that on the surface of 1 m2, this force reaches the value of approximately 10.000 kp) that would in turn cause the implosion of the cassette/window. This problem on fiat plate solar collectors is being solved for instance in the way that a certain number of distance supports/small nails per one Im2 are being built in, in the area of the flat-plate solar collectors where the absorber of the sun energy with metal pipes for water circulation is situated (for instance the Fr. Thermo-Solar system). Furthermore, the design of the collectors, apart from one glass plate, is metal, which can not secure lasting vacuum and it is not sufficiently anti- corrosive against the sea water. The presentation of the invention essence
The primary aim of the invention is the construction of a cassette/window that ensures the following:
• lasting underpressure / rough vacuum in the cassette
• minimization of the probability of implosion occurrence in the cassette/window
• possible minimization of optical and warmth losses
• mechanically stable design, i.e. minimization of the cassette bending/ deflection
• exclusion of the corrosion occurrence especially in case of the indirect sea water impact
The vacuum cassette/window is a very simple design that consists of the front and back plate, lateral parts closing up the cassette and a whole range of distance supports (battens) placed in- between the glass planes, mutually arranged in form of a network /raster (grid), which exclude the possibility of the cassette implosion. Short description of the Drawing
The enclosed Drawing, forming the constituent part of the invention, depicts the invention design.
Image 1 is a layout and a cross-section of the glass cassette/window.
Detailed description of the invention realization
Drawing 1 shows the housing and a raster of distance supports of the glass vacuum cassette/window. The housing consists of the lateral glass sides 12, two glass plates 10, a raster consisting of a whole range of horizontal and vertical glass distance supports 14 (battens). The thickness of the glass plates is 10, the number and the geometry of the distance supports is 14, whereas their mutual distances must be dimensioned /arranged in the way to exclude the implosion of the vacuum cassette, i.e. to achieve a satisfactory mechanical stability of the cassette, without essential increase of the cassette optical losses. All the tangent points /surfaces between the position 10/12/14 must be sealed in a high quality way so that the seals have the mechanical strength equal or greater than the glass strength. In this way a lasting underpressure can be achieved / vacuum (1...100 mbar) in the cassette, in turn excluding the need for subsequent / periodic cassette vacuuming. Further on, such a design ensures excellent anti-corrosive protection, which is of importance if the cassette is being used in conjunction with flat-plane solar collectors for the warming up of sanitary /sea water, i.e. for desalinization of the sea water.
Invention application mode
The described invention presents a practical, lasting and useful modular unit, which can be economically produced and applied in various ways, as for instance a vacuum cassette in conjunction with flat-plane solar collectors used for heating up/ evaporation /desalinization /of the sea water and the places of possible embodiment /application are swimming pools, residential and public buildings, sea salt works, plants for the production of potable water out of the sea water, in thermal pools / baths, for the purpose of the increase of the sea water salinity (from 3.5% to 8%) and its heating up to 37°, and the like.

2. The cassette according to claim 1, characterized by that it is mechanically so stable that it can endure the necessary underpressure /vacuum, due to which fact the possibility of implosion occurrence is excluded.
3. The cassette according to claim 1, characterized by that it is not necessary to vacuum the cassette housing subsequently/periodically.
4. The cassette according to claim 1, characterized by that the thermal losses are being reduced to the minimum.
