Abstract 822,768. Utilizing solar heat. ROBINSON, N., and STOTTER, A. June 5, 1957 [Jan. 7, 1957], No. 17943/57: Class 64(2) A heat-absorbing box 1 is adjustably inclined to face the sun and contains insulation 6 and a water container 7 behind two spaced glass panes 4. The container 7 has an upper outlet header 13 and a lower inlet header 12 interconnected by conduits 11, Fig. 3, which may be formed by joining a corrugated plate 9 and a flat plate 8, by joining two parallel sheets with partitions between them or by a number of contacting flat tubes 22, Fig. 6. The corrugations of the plate 9 may be such that the cross section of a conduit 11 is a triangle or a segment of a circle, Figs. 4, 5 (not shown). The container 7 has a black surface, and the water passes to an insulated tank for storage but may be circulated back to the container for further heating.
