Solar energy collector - has vertical pipe and pump for spraying water over inner surface of inner one of two concentric spheres

摘要

The solar energy collector is constructed from two concentric spheres. The outer sphere (1) is made of translucent plastic and the inner sphere (2) is made of a material which can absorb the energy in the solar radiation. A vertical pipe inside the inner sphere (2) receives water from a pump (9) and sprays it over the inner surface of the inner sphere (2). The water is heated by the solar radiation and then flows into a pipe (11) and is used for heating a swimming pool.. The solar collector is simple to construct' inexpensive to mfr. and is especially suitable for heating swimming pools.
