Solar collector system with radiation concentrated on heat absorber vanes

Details

Inventors: Husson, Jr., Frank D.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Focarino; Margaret A.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Baker, Maxham & Jester

A rectangular frame contains a plurality of upwardly opening trays each having a heat absorber element with a plurality of upstanding vanes. A lens associated with each tray concentrates incident solar radiation on the vanes to preferentially heat a portion of the liquid filling the tray to a relatively high temperature at which vaporization is more efficiently accomplished than in prior solar stills. The evaporated liquid is condensed on an overlying surface and is collected for later use. The system may be used in distilling water and in solar refrigeration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide an improved solar collector system.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar collector system in which incident solar radiation is concentrated on heat absorber elements to preferentially heat a portion of a quantity of liquid to a relatively high temperature.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar collector system for vaporizing a liquid over a more efficient segment of the vapor pressure curve.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved solar water distillation system.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar refrigeration system.
Another object of the present invention to provide an improved solar collector system for high efficiency vaporization of a liquid that is readily fabricated from durable materials.
In accordance with the present invention a rectangular frame contains a plurality of upwardly opening trays each having a heat absorber element with a plurality of upstanding vanes.
A lens associated with each tray concentrates incident solar radiation on the vanes to preferentially heat a portion of the liquid filling the tray to a relatively high temperature at which vaporization is more efficiently accomplished than in prior solar stills.
The evaporated liquid is condensed on an overlying surface and is collected for later use.
The system may be used in distilling water and in solar refrigeration.
