New solar heat collectors

2012/01/07 17:07
Heat-Booster Energy Systems has submitted a patent application for a new low cost design for solar heat collectors. The collector modules can be used as walls, roofs and fences. This reduces installed cost substantially. Hot air from collectors can be used for space or water heating. There are no liquids in the collectors.
One unique design combines solar thermal with solar PV in same panel. Modules can also be used as walls, roofs and fences (ideal with pools).
Licenses are available.

Solar Heat Collectors - Lower Cost - Higher Efficiency

2011/12/10 09:23
Heat-Booster Energy Systems has added new designs for solar heat collectors. These cut costs and improve pay-back of investments. Ideal for walls, roofs and pool heating. No liquids are circulated through collectors. Patents will be applied for.
The collectors can become walls and roofs, cutting total costs even more. This is ideal with new construction or renovations. Systems can be integrated with wood stove based space and water heating installations for year round comfort.

Solar Heat Collector Test - Water heating

2011/06/16 07:34
A high efficiency solar heat collector has been tested and found to be capable of capturing most of the available energy. Air to water heat exchanger operated at 60% efficiency. This will increase to at least 90% when a fully counter current HX design is installed. Results indicate that most of available solar heat is captured, and that the heat can be transferred to water. Next test run will use a fully counter-current heat exchanger and extra insulation on back of panel.
It is expected that up to 95% of available energy can be captured and transferred to water. There are no liquids that can freeze or boil in the collector. Evacuated tubes are not used. Manufacturing cost will be low with the result that pay-back will be quick.

High Efficiency Solar Heat Collector

2011/04/10 12:36
A high efficiency (thermal and cost) solar heat collector has been designed, and a prototype has been built. The unit has been tested to determine actual energy recovery in terms of kW/m2. Results are close to what can be expected from theory. Units can be mounted on roofs, walls and fences. Stand-alone systems can also be built. The design can be built into roofs. Hot air from collectors can be used for space or water heating. No water tubing on roofs or in attics, only air ducts. Next step is to finalize design in terms of materials and dimensions. These solar heat collectors will be game changers.
