A brine tank similar to that used in an ice plant is used to store heat added to a thin sheet of water by the sun and/or ambient air. The stored heat is removed from the water by a heat pump for space heating. Water in containers in the brine may, on occasion, furnish its heat of fusion to the evaporator of the heat pump. In hot weather a reversing valve causes the erstwhile evaporator to become the condenser and to transfer heat to the brine. This heat is then dissipated by the water when it is sprayed onto the roof. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION As shown in FIG. 1, a trailer type dwelling unit comprises a foundation 1, vapor barrier 2, floor support 3, floor 4, walls 5, ceiling 6, ceiling support 7, and roof 8. A tank 10 rests, preferable, on the ground beneath the trailer. Inside the tank 10 several containers 11 rest on the tank bottom. A pump 12 receives cold water or brine and lifts it to the spray pipe 20 above roof 8. A level control valve 13 includes a float 14. A compressor 30 may be located near the foundation 1. High pressure line 31 and low pressure line 32 are connected to compressor 30. Valve 33, in the position shown, allows high pressure refrigerant fluid to flow through valve passage 33' into condenser 34. Conventional devices such as air fans and water circulators, omitted for clarity, may be used to aid in the condensation. A valve 35 restricts the flow from the condenser and enables compressor 30 to lower the pressure in line 36 whereby the evaporation inside lowers the temperature and causes line 36 to absorb heat from the water in tank 10. This heat is transferred to the interior 40 by the fluid flowing through compressor 30 to line 34 where condensation causes it to give up its heat. The water from spray pipe 20 flows over the roof or over protective cover 21, such as asphalt. The sprayed water serves as a heat absorbing material both by virtue of its exposure to the atmosphere and its exposure to the black surface heated by the sun. Thus, the heat depletion by lines 34 and 36 is compensated for by heat restored to the roof top water. The water and its new energy flows through gutters 50 and downspout 51 back to tank 10. The operation described above will continue in most temperate climates during average winter temperatures. Even if the sun is not shining, the heat content of the air restores the heat removed by the evaporator 36. On extremely cold by sunny days the water returned to the roof is near the outside temperature and will not, like the water in other types of solar heaters, lose its heat rapidly, but is rather warmed by the sun at least to the level of the outside temperatures
