Energy recovery solar panel for water heating - has cells mounted on elastomer mat having formed channels through which liquid is circulated

摘要

The solar energy panel has a matrix of cells (1) that are bonded onto an elastomer mat (3) located on top of the cells is a transparent plate (2) of glass or plastic that is bonded into position. Two such assemblies can be mounted side by side on a wooden base (5) and are held in position by bridging elements (10) with fixing screws (9). The elastomer mat is produced with a cross section that is formed with channels through which a fluid may be circulated. At the same time that the solar cells are cooled, the fluid is heated and this may be used for some form of external heating, i.e. a swimming bath. USE/ADVANTAGE - Allows recovery of additional energy. Can be used to heat water in swimming pool or as primary circuit of water heat pump.
