Abstract

The invention relates to the construction of a new solar collector that consists of long heating elements (2) placed so as to create a pergola (1). The pergola solar collector (1) when placed on an elevated scaffolding (3), allows the utilization of the surface underneath, for placing plants, etc. The characteristic of the long heating elements (2) that are used for the construction of the pergola solar collector (1), is that they can consist of one or more section bars (profiles) (4). These elements rotate around their longitudinal axis, so as to enhance their performance. Due to the, aesthetically acceptable, large surface of solar energy collection, the pergola solar collector can be used, complimentarily, for heating or air-conditioning and not just only for water heating, and on all appropriate surfaces (terraces, facades, balconies, parking spaces, etc) and upgrades the aesthetics of the buildings where it is installed.

Description

Pergola Solar Collector System Constructed From Long Heating Elements
The invention relates to the construction of a new type of solar collector that consists of long heating elements, assembled so as to create a pergola.
The vast majority of the solar systems currently in use replace their electric counterparts for domestic water heating. They consist of:
I. one or more flat rectangular collectors of solar radiation
II. fluid circulation system for heat transfer and
III. the fluid storage tank
The collectors are placed at an appropriate tilted angle and with such an orientation that allows the utilization of the incident solar radiation.
Collectors of similar shape are used for the direct heating of air. In this case there is no need of piping installation for fluid circulation and of storage tank, but of simple air ducts for input and output of the air from the space that needs heating.
Existing solar collectors are placed, mainly, on the buildings roofs where, due to their bulky and anti-aesthetic configuration, they hinder the additional utilization of the installation site and, as well as, their elegant architectural adaptation.
The disadvantages of the present solar systems for water heating include:
I. the inelegant view of the supporting structure of the collector, of the storage tank and of the hydraulic piping
II. the difficulty they present for their architectural adaptation to the building
III. prohibiting other uses of the installation site
IV. the high repair cost in case of breakdown of the collector
V. inability coexistence with plants (trees, etc), which would relief the polluted urban environment, and
VI. the fixed inclination angle of the collector with respect to the solar radiation, that results to a not optimum absorption of the solar radiation during the course of the year, which is an important factor if the collector is to be used for air-conditioning in the summer.
The proposed invention is described below with reference to the figures, where:
Figure 1 shows the typical arrangement of a pergola solar collector and one of the most commonly used types of existing solar collectors for water heating.
Figure 2 shows a section of a long heating element, from which the pergola solar collector is comprised. Said element has two pipes for fluid circulation under its solar radiation collection surface.
Figure 3 shows an isometric section of the long heating element. The pergola solar collector is composed of a number of such elements.
Figure 4 shows the flow diagram of the heated fluid. Figure 5 shows a suggested arrangement of the pergola solar collector on a building facade.
Figure 6 shows a suggested arrangement of the long heating elements, placed at an angle within the pergola solar collector supporting structure.
The present invention reports the construction of a new solar collector, which consists of long heating elements, placed on scaffolding, thus forming a pergola (1). The long element (2) has the characteristic that its body is comprised of one or a combination of more section bars (profiles) (4). A group of such elements (2), arranged and appropriately assembled together and placed on a raised scaffolding (3) creates a pergola (1).
The present invention provides also for the construction of a long element for the pergola solar collector system, where its long sides and its back side form an entity (body) made from one or a combination of more than one section bars (profiles) (4). These profiles can be plastic or metallic, manufactured by extrusion or forming and are appropriately joined together. In such a construction two insulating rubber section-bars (profiles) (5) are suitably placed so as to enclose the edges of the transparent, made of glass or plastic, cover in single or double layer, in flat or curved or of any other suitable form. Due to the extended length of the collectors, the transparent cover (6) in certain cases can consist of more than one parts. In this case the short sides can be joined by means of an appropriate insert (7). Below the surface of the transparent cover lays the surface that absorbs the solar radiation (8). Said surface includes one or more tubes (9) for fluid circulation, depending on the width of the solar radiation absorption surface. Below the solar radiation absorption surface lays the insulation (10). The insulation can be created either directly by injection into the heating element (2) thus increasing its strength (due to the adherence of the insulation to the inside surface of the element), or it can be pre- manufactured and placed separately. The two ends of the long heating element are closed at each side by two end covers (11). Through the latter the tubes that circulate the fluid and transfer it from one element to the next one pass through. The complete long element has the capability, by means of an appropriate mechanism, to rotate around its long axis in order to achieve a more favorable angle of incidence for the solar rays, depending on the season of the year.
Figure 1 shows the basic structural differentiation between the installation of a common solar collector (12) and that of the proposed pergola solar collector (1). It also shows a typical installation of the pergola solar collector (1) consisting of a number of long heating elements (2), described above, assembled in series and in parallel with an appropriate angle of inclination for enhanced performance, placed on scaffolding and thus creating a pergola (1).
The collectors' assembly, as shown in Figure 4, is connected to the storage tank (13). The fluid circulation from the storage tank to the collectors, inside a closed circuit of warm (14) and cold liquid piping (15), is performed by a pump (16). The pump operation is controlled by an electric and electronic system, which activates or interrupts the circulation by monitoring the fluid temperature in the storage tank and in the solar collector. In-going cold fluid (15) and out-going hot fluid piping (14) are located, as shown in Figure 4, outside and adjacent to the short sides of the long heating elements (2). They are enclosed inside channels (17), as depicted in Figure 1.
A significant advantage of the invention is the capability of the pergola solar collector to be placed without scaffolding or with a scaffolding of very small height, so as to be virtually invisible in areas sensitive to aesthetics.
The weight of each long heating element is significantly less than that of the existing collectors (heating elements); as a result their installation is easier. The maintenance of the system is more economic, since in case of damage individual elements are repaired or replaced and not the whole system. Each pergola solar collector system is expandable by adding elements, depending on the available installation site, its x shape and its dimensions.
The pergola solar collector due to its capability to exploit, in an aesthetically acceptable way, ail the available areas, by allowing the installation of solar collectors with much greater operational surfaces, can be used complementarily to central heating and air conditioning systems, yielding economic benefits due to the significant thermal energy that the system can accumulate.
The pergola solar collector leaves the area bellow the scaffolding free for any other use (placement of plants, etc). It is, in addition, flexible as it can be adapted to all types of buildings. The pergola solar collector can be a modular (pre-manufactured) entity of collectors placed on a parallelogram or trapezoidal shape scaffolding or it can be placed directly on scaffolding with such an orientation that will provide the best degree of performance. The construction of the body of a particular long heating element from a combination of profiles makes the manufacture of varying length elements easy, thus making the installation of these elements diagonally inside any rectangular parallelogram feasible, in order to achieve the best orientation of the collector, Figure 6.
Also the pergola solar collector can be installed in any, suitably oriented, building facade in order to be incorporated into its architectural shape, Figure 5, providing shade too.
A number of long heating elements can be installed, with an appropriate modification of their scaffolding (3), on any suitable, as far as the orientation is concerned, wall, facade, existing or new pergolas of gardens or terraces. On the same scaffolding of these pergolas solar collectors it is possible to install in parallel also other Renewable Energy Systems (i.e. photovoltaic cells).
