Abstract

A solar energy system includes a solar radiation absorption layer 15 shielded by a transparent or translucent layer 18 and having one or more air gaps 19, 16 above and or below it. Air heated by the absorption layer 15 passes into a chimney 20, where convection effects produce an upward air velocity. Energy is extracted from the air in the chimney by a windmill or air turbine 23 driving an electrical generator 25 or the like. Alternatively a heat exchanger, such as a boiler, can be located in the chimney.

Description

SOLAR ENEY SYSTEM This invention relates to solar energy systems and is applicable particularly, but not exclusively, to solar enerqy systems used to qenerate electricity.
Accordinq to one aspect of the invention there is provided a solar energy system includina a transparent cir translucent upper layer t be exposed t solar radiation, a centre solar radiation absorption layer extending beneath the upper layer, and a bottom layer of low heat transmission extending beneath the centre layer, the upper layer and centre layer being separated by an air gap, an air supply to the air gap, the air gap opening into a chimney remote from the air supply. and energy extraction means in the chimney to extract energy from convected air heated in the air gap and passing therefrom up the chimney.
Conveniently, the upper layer is of qlass or plastics.
Preferably the blottc,m layer has an eneray reflective surface.
Advantaqeously the bottom layer is of low heat conduct i vi ty.
I~:,Dnveniently the centre layer has a black: uppr surface, which may be corrugated.
Preferably the air qap diverges in thickness from the outer edge thereof towards the chimney.
Advantageously the centre layer is made of heat conductive material and may be provided with fins or other heat exchanqe elements projecting into the air gap.
IDonveniently, said air qap edge is of substantially constant distance from the chimney.
Preferably the energy extraction means includes a windmill or air speed driven turbine to be rotated by the velocity of air passinq up the chimney. the windmill or turbine being connected to drive a load.
Conveniently the load is an electrical generator.
Alternatively the load may be a mechanical machine.
Alternatively the energy extraction means may include a heat exchanger means, to heat a fluid passing t her ethr ough.
Conveniently, the heat exchanger means is a boiler.
Preferably the air gap slopes upwards from the outer wedge thereof towards the chimney.
Various embodiments of the invention are described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a section in a vertical plane of a solar enerqy system, according to the invention.
Figure 9 is a section alonq the line II -- II in Figure 1 and Fiqure 3 is an alternative to the scion shown in Fiqure 1.
In the Fiqures 1 and 2 a circular solar heat collector 10 includes a bottom layer 11 typically havinq a flat underside 12 and a heat reflective upper surface 13.
Between the underside 12 and the upper surface 13 is low heat conductivity material.
Spaced above the upper surface 13 and extending thereover is a solar radiation absorption layer 15, forming a first air qap 16. The absorption layer 15 has a central aperture 17.
The upper surface of the layer 15 is preferably black.
Spaced above the absorption layer 15 and e extending thereover is a transparent or translucent upper layer 18, conveniently of glass or sheet plastics material. A second air gap 19 is formed between the absorption layer 15 and the upper layer 18. The outer edges of the air gaps 16, 19 are open t the atmosphere.
A central chimney 20 of optimum heiqht is open at the base thereof into the air gaps 16, 19.
In use, when solar radiation falls on the upper layer 18 it passes therethrough onto the black upper surface of the absorption layer 15, throuqh the second air qap 19.
The radiation heats the black upper surface, which in turn heats the air in the second air gap 19. Any heat passing through the absorption layer 15 passes through the first air gap 16 to the reflective surface 13, where it is reflected back to further heat the absc,rptis,n layer 15. Air in the first gap 16 is heated bv the underside of the layer 15 and bv radiation throuqh gap 16.
The heated air in the gaps 16, 19 passes into the chimney 20 causing a strong, hot upwards convection current. This current in turn draws fresh air inwards through the qaps 16, 1.3 towards the chimney u, where it is heated as it passes over the absorption layer 15.
The layer 15 is preferably of metal or other heat cc,nductive material and may be provided with fins or other heat exchanae elements on either or both sides in the qaps 16. 19. Preferably, the reflective surface 13, the absorption layer 15 and the upper layer 18 slope upwards from the outer edges towards the chimney 20.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 3 there is no central aperture 17 in the absorption layer 15. Instead, the air gaps 16, 19 are connected in series. For this purpose, atmospheric air is fed into the air qap 16 through a central duct 21 through the bottom layer 11, the outer edges of the upper layer 18 and the bottom layer 11 are joined together by a wall 14 so as to inhibit or limit the entry of atmospheric air. In this embodiment the absorption layer 15 does not reach the edges of the upper and bottom layers 18, 11. Thus air drawn in through the central duct 21 passes substantially radially outwards in the first gap 16, beinq heated on the way by contact with the underside of the absorption layer 15 and by any fins or other heat exchange elements on the layer 15 and protrudina into the first qap 16.
The partially heated air then passes around the outer edqes of the absorption layer 15 and into the second air gap 19, where it travels substantially radially or spirally inwards towards the centre and into the chimney 20. In this embodiment the air entering the chimney can at a hiqher temperature than in the embodiment shown in Figure 1.
In the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, the outer edges of the bottom layer 11, the absorption layer 15 and upper layer 18 are at substantially constant distances from the chimney 20.
Thus, the edqes may be circular, octagonal, hexagonal or other many sided polygonal shape.
In other embodiments, the solar heat collector 1 may be, for example, rectangular in plan, with the chimney 20 at or near one end and with the components thereof arranged in the same principles as in Figures 1, 2 or 3. In a further embodiment of the invention, similar to the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the chimney 20 passes through the upper layer 18, with a pap between the inner edge of the upper layer 18 and the chimney. In this embodiment, atmospheric air enters the second air gap 19, passes radially out to the outer edqes of the absorption layer 18 and downwards round into the first air gap 16.
The air thereby partly heated in the second gap 19 then travels through the first gap 16 substantially radially or spirally inwards to pass upwards into the chimney 20 through a central aperture in the absorption layer 15, around which central aperture the base of the chimney 20 is sealed.
Positioned at an optimum height inside the chimney 20 is an energy extraction means 22, to remove heat or kinetic energy from the stream of hot air fl owing by convection up the chimney 20.
Kinetic energy of the air flow is conveniently extracted by a windmill 23 or air turbine. The windmill 23 or turbine may have one or more rows of blades 24 with stator blades in front of, behind, or between the rows, for optimum efficiency. The number of blades 24 in each row is chosen similarly.
The windmill 23, or turbine may be mounted on an electrical generator 25 and connected to drive it direct.
Alternatively it may be connected by a suitable mechanical drive, such as gears, shafting, chains or the like to drive an electrical generator or a mechanical machine outside the chimney 20.
In addition, or instead of the windmill 23 or air turbine, heat energy can be extracted from the air in the chimney 20 by a heat exchanger to heat a fluid passed through the heat exchanqer. The fluid may be a suitable liquid such as water to generate steam for processing purposes or t drive a steam engine.
