Abstract:
A solar heating system is described which includes solar heat collectors mounted on the roof or side of a building facing toward the sun with air in contact therewith for heating, which air is circulated through ducts in a heat storage unit, the air flow being controlled by a differential thermostat which provides heated air to the storage unit so long as the temperature of the air in the heat collectors is a few degress above that of the storage unit. The heat storage unit has ducts therein communicating with the interior of a building but separate from the ducts attached to the collectors for transferring stored heat from the storage unit to air to be circulated within the building. The air circulation within the building is controlled by a thermostat attached to a blower and to a source of auxiliary heat when the temperature in the storage unit is below a predetermined level. The storage unit may have a pipe loop passing therethrough for pre-heating the water for a domestic hot water heater.
