Double-Walled Solar Heater Apparatus And Method For Use
US Patent:
2008006, Mar 20, 2008
Filed:
Sep 18, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/857140
Inventors:
Harry M. Landis - Norton MA, US
International Classification:
F24J 2/51
US Classification:
126704
Abstract:
The solar heater apparatus disclosed comprises an inner container and an outer container each having an opening forming a mouth. The inner container is contained within the outer container and has on its outside surface a solar-selective coating optimized to absorb a large fraction of the incident solar radiation while reradiating little of the absorbed energy. The two containers are joined creating one unified apparatus with a reservoir, an opening and a void between the two containers. The void is evacuated to reduce the heat loss due to thermal conduction from the inner container and the contents of the reservoir. In operation, the reservoir is filled with material and exposed to the sun. The solar radiation from the sun penetrates the outer container and is absorbed by the solar-selective coating and, by conduction, passes thermal energy through the inner container into the apparatus reservoir heating the reservoir contents.
