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.
