SOLAR THERMAL ENERGY COLLECTION AND STORAGE FOR HEATING BUILDINGS

Resumen de: US2025314387A1

An apparatus for heating ambient air for an ASHP, the apparatus including a thermal battery and a sunlight-absorbent collector panel configured to be mounted on a building. The panel is exposed to ambient air and defines an air collection space between itself and the building when mounted on the building. The collector panel has a plurality of air inlet openings to allow the ambient air to flow into the air collection space. A panel outlet allows the collected air to flow from the air collection space to the thermal battery. The thermal battery includes battery airflow outlet in fluid communication with the ASHP and an external vent to the outside. One or more dampers control the airflow through the external vent and/or the battery airflow outlet. An air mover maintains a predefined airflow from the panel outlet to the battery airflow inlet. A controller controls the position of the one or more dampers.

Rail-Less Solar Panel Devices and System for Roofs and the Like and Methods for Mounting Same

Resumen de: US2025314398A1

Discussed are solar panel systems as well as devices and methods for mounting the solar panel systems to roofs and building structures. Catch clamp, mid clamp, and optionally end clamp assemblies can be preinstalled to the solar panels at the job site before placing and securing the resulting solar panel assemblies to the building structure such as a roof. After an installer places and secures a first solar panel assembly to the building structure, they can install each subsequent solar panel assemblies by attaching the leading edge of the subsequent solar panel assembly to the trailing edge of the previous solar panel assembly using a catch and catch receiver, hook and slot, tab and slot, or similar mechanism.

Solar thermal collector

Resumen de: GB2639896A

A solar thermal collector 1 includes a conduit 2 arranged in a coil structure using guides of a supporting column 3, and in use the conduit carries a fluid which absorbs solar radiation. The column can include two intersecting plates that together create four arms extending away from the centre in a cross-shaped cross-section with opposing edges of each plate defining the guides. The spacing of the guides means that adjacent portions of the conduit are not in contact with one another, and over 80% of the space between adjacent portions of the conduit do not align with a space between adjacent portions of the conduit on the diametrically opposite side of the coil. The resultant conduit alignment, such that over 80% of the space between adjacent portions of the conduit do not align with a space between adjacent portions of the conduit on the diametrically opposite side of the coil results in reduced optical losses and increases the efficiency of the solar thermal collector.
