Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to solar power collection panels for use in heating water. More specifically, the present invention is a system that collects solar power and structure-generated heat in a solar panel assembly and transfers a portion of the collected heat energy to water flowing through a manifold of tubes.
  • the solar panel assembly is configured for scalability, arranged to simply and easily allow multiple instances (modules) of the assembly to be connected or coupled in an array for increasing the overall heating capacity of the system.
  • U.S. Patent Application 20080310913 by Urban, et al, teaches a "fixture for attaching a profile rail having an undercut longitudinal groove to another component, as well as an arrangement of this fixture.”
  • the Urban et al application details a fixture "that can generate a statically-sound attachment universally between the profile rail and components, and is at the same time particularly fast and simple to install, as well as inexpensive to fabricate.”
  • the primary goal of the invention is to reduce costs and complexity of installation for mechanisms for attaching a solar panel to a structure.
  • the present invention is an inexpensive modular solar panel system arranged so as to facilitate the connection of multiple instances of the same solar panel assembly in a single connected array to increase the overall surface area used for collecting heat energy, and thus the overall system capacity for heating water.
  • the connection and coupling features allow the end user to expand the solar panel array (and its capacity) only as needed, in small, affordable increments. The end user needs to purchase and add only one, or a few new panels to the array as necessary or desirable. This reduces the cost and complexity for each system expansion.
  • the solar panel assembly of the present invention utilizes radiated energy from the Sun, as well as the heat energy radiating (and convectively transferred) from the structures to which the assembly is mounted, to raise the temperature of water.
  • the inventive solar panel may be used to reduce the amount of commercial energy required to heat a swimming pool, spa, or domestic water supply.
  • the solar panel When the solar panel is installed in a location where maximum exposure to the Sun is possible, the top surface of the panel is heated by the Sun's radiated energy, and some of the heat energy of the heated panel is transferred to water flowing through a manifold of tubes integrated in the panel.
  • thermal water solar panel of the present invention is increased when it is installed on the roof of a house, or a similar structure, where heat energy radiating and rising convectively from the structure is transferred to the bottom surface of the panel.
  • This heat source adds to any heat energy acquired by solar insolation, thus increasing the overall amount of heat energy available for transfer to the water flowing through the manifold of tubes that are integrated into the solar panel assembly.

For instance, 3.9 meter, 3.4 meter, 2.9 meter, and 1.4 meter lengths are particularly useful in residential housing applications. Additionally, while a generally linear relationship of connected large tube inlet and outlet manifolds is contemplated, the system will easily accommodate direction changes with angled or curved fittings, wherein field cut or predetermined intermediate lengths of large tubing are provided to bring the ends of the inlet outlet manifolds of subsequently placed modules into alignment.

Accordingly, mounting clamp base 104, and a corresponding mounting clamp top 105, are shaped to form a pair of opposing arcuate jaws that capture and retain the bottom, one side, top, and a portion of the opposite side of a large tube manifold. They are provided with coupling elements that allow mounting clamp top 105 to be snapped into a locking engagement with mounting clamp base 104 (see details of this locking engagement in the description of FIG 3).
  • mounting clamp top 105 and a mounting clamp base 104 can be unlocked with ease, and the two pieces can be pulled apart to allow the entire tube manifold assembly to be removed from an installed array. Note, however, that while mounting clamp top 105 and a mounting clamp base 104 can be unlocked with ease, the process requires specific mechanical actions that cannot be accomplished by wind, ambient temperature, or small animal activities. Therefore, they will not become unlocked inadvertently under ordinary environmental conditions.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de chauffe-eau utilisant un panneau solaire modulaire. Ledit système comprend une pluralité de modules de chauffage solaire, pourvus chacun de collecteurs d'admission et d'évacuation et d'un ensemble de tubes fins disposés entre les collecteurs d'admission et d'évacuation et en communication fluidique avec eux. Un dispositif de montage et de serrage fixe les modules de chauffage solaire sur une surface et exercent une force de serrage suffisante sur les éléments serrés et ce, même lorsque les éléments serrés se dilatent ou se contractent. Les fixations fournissent un accouplement étanche entre les modules adjacents et mettent chaque module en communication fluidique avec au moins un module adjacent et un ensemble de panneaux. Un module comprend une admission d'eau qui communique avec une source d'eau sous pression et un autre module possède une évacuation d'eau. Une série de bouchons sont disposés sur les collecteurs selon une configuration qui permet de s'assurer que l'eau introduite par l'admission d'eau s'écoule au moins dans l'un des ensembles de tubes fins avant de sortir par l'évacuation d'eau.
