Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a solar collector panel, for heating ventilation air with solar energy.
  • This solar collector panel is characterized by a thermostat, controlling one or more fans, forcing the direction of the airflow to change at an adjustable, preset temperature, measured within the housing. This prevents the risk of long-term excessive heat, damaging the build-in solar cell panel, when the conventional heat function is turned off. Also the system supplies cooling ventilation during summer, by drawing air from the interior of a building to free air.
  • the French patent FR 2500036 shows a typical simple solar collector panel comprising a transparent front panel, a heat absorber, thermally insulated from the back panel, and a passage between the front panel and the back panel, comprising an inlet opening for allowing cold air to flow into the passage and an outlet opening for exit of the air heated.
  • Prior art solar collector panels like Doherty (WO2007100819) in section 0026, 0033 and 0036, describes a solar collector panel comprising a plurality of channels and sections providing second means of heating to increase efficiency.
  • the heater comprises a temperature controller for turning the fan(s), in the solar collector panel, on and off, once a preset temperature are obtained.
  • the heater also comprises a recirculation function, having the air drawn out of the building and into the heater again for reheating.
  • Optional solar cells for generating electricity to operate the fan(s) is mentioned. (section 0028).
  • This solar collector panel has a one-way airflow, reheating interior air from a building and with no cooling effect to the building. When the heater is turned off by the temperature controller, there is no airflow, an no cooling effect to a build in solar cell panel.
  • the temperature controller is not described as electrically connected and driven by the optional solar cells.
  • JP2002-267227A an air charging system with two fans is shown in drawing no. 1, and in section 008, a reversible type of fan is mentioned. These fans are not connected to a temperature controller.
  • Several other solar collector panels has a build in fan driven by a solar cell panel like in the JP2002005530.
  • a solar collector panel Generally, the purpose of a solar collector panel is to provide heated air to a building interior during cold seasons. Normally the solar heat collector panel will be switched off during summer, but by doing that, the active ventilation is turned off as well. When the solar heat collector panel is turned off, the temperature rises due to stagnating air, and the risk of long-term excessive heating of the solar cell panel occurs.
  • the present invention featuring a unique temperature controlled bi-directional airflow, where the solar powered fan(s) are controlled by a solar powered temperature controller, drawing air out of a building to free air, when a adjustable, preset temperature is reached within the housing of the solar collector panel
  • the present invention relates to a solar collector panel, characterized by an adjustable thermostat ( 8 ) and a switch ( 9 ), controlling one or more fans ( 7 ), changing the direction of the airflow at a preset temperature.
  • the thermostat ( 8 ), switch ( 9 ) and fan(s) ( 7 ) are electrically powered by a solar cell panel ( 6 ).
  • the temperature reading of the thermostat sensor ( 8 ) electrically relays a signal to the switch ( 9 ) turning the power from fan ( 7 a ) to fan ( 7 b ), or by changing the polarity of one reversible fan ( 7 ), once preset temperature are obtained, and there by changing the direction of the air flow through the solar collector panel.
  • the thermostat sensor electrically relays a signal to the switch ( 9 ), turning the power back from one fan ( 7 b ) to another fan ( 7 a ), or by changing the polarity of one reversible fan ( 7 ), changing the direction of the airflow through the solar collector panel.
  • FIG. 1 Side view of a solar collector panel, according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 Side view of a solar collector panel, according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where the ventilation device comprises a single reverse action fan.
  • FIG. 3 Side view of solar collector panel, according to the second embodiment of the invention, where the ventilation device, is alternatively placed at the other opening away from the building.
  • FIG. 4 Side view of a solar collector panel, according to a third embodiment of the invention, where the ventilation device comprises two opposite rotating fans placed at the same opening.
  • FIG. 5 Side view of a solar collector panel, according to the third embodiment of the invention, where the ventilation devices are alternatively placed at other opening away from the building.
  • a solar collector panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention, where the ventilation device comprises two fans ( 7 a,b ) powered by a solar cell panel ( 6 ), a thermostat ( 8 ) and a switch ( 9 ) also powered by the solar cell panel ( 6 ).
  • the switch ( 9 ) has two conditions, controlled by a thermostat ( 8 ).
  • the fans ( 7 a,b ) are connected to a switch ( 9 ).
  • the thermostat ( 8 ) will drive the switch ( 9 ) to 1 st .condition, turning the fan ( 7 a ) on, drawing the air through the inlet opening ( 3 ), through the solar collector panel, where it is heated up and forced out of the outlet opening ( 4 ) to the building. In this condition the solar collector panel will produce warm air to the building interior.
  • the thermostat ( 8 ) When the temperature inside the solar collector panel reaches the preset temperature, the thermostat ( 8 ) will drive the switch ( 9 ) to 2 nd condition, switching the fan ( 7 b ) on, drawing air from opening ( 4 ) through the solar collector panel and forces the air out of another opening ( 3 ) to open air. In this condition, the solar collector panel will draw interior air out of the building, maintaining coolness to the solar cell panel, and creating ventilation and cooling effect to the building.
  • the ventilation device comprising a single reversible fan ( 7 ).
  • the fan ( 7 ) is connected to a switch ( 9 ).
  • the thermostat ( 8 ) will drive the switch ( 9 ) to 1 st .condition, turning the fan ( 7 ) in one direction, drawing the air through the inlet opening ( 3 ), through the solar collector panel, where it is heated up and forced out of the outlet opening ( 4 ) to the building interior.
  • the thermostat ( 8 ) When the temperature inside the solar collector panel reaches the preset temperature, the thermostat ( 8 ) will drive the switch ( 9 ) to 2 nd condition, forcing the fan ( 7 ) to turn in another direction, forcing the air to change direction as well, now drawing air from opening ( 4 ) through the solar collector panel and out of opening ( 3 ) to open air. In this condition, the solar collector panel will draw interior air out of the building, maintaining coolness to the solar cell panel, and creating ventilation and cooling effect to the building.
  • the ventilation device comprises two opposite turning fans ( 7 a,b ) mounted at the same opening duct FIGS. 4&5 .
  • the present invention comprises a thermostat of mechanical art, like a bimetallic or a fluid-expansion type.
  • the fan ( 7 a ), or the electricity to the single reversible fan ( 7 ), according to the invention, both performing an inlet flow to the building interior, can be turned off, without breaking the thermal control of the fan ( 7 b ) or the 2 nd function of the single reversible fan, both performing the unique feature reverse action airflow.
  • the solar collector panel As the indoor temperature under normal conditions, will be equal or higher than the outdoor temperature, the solar collector panel, according to the present invention, will not switch back to 1 st condition, unless the weather conditions changes, bringing the temperature back under a preset value.
