Modular solar air circulating and conditioning apparatus

Abstract

A modular solar air circulating and conditioning apparatus includes a box body, a heat absorbing unit and a transparent cover. The box body includes a surrounding wall and a bottom. The wall has a connecting portion and the bottom has a pipe portion interconnected with the containing space of the box body. The heat absorbing unit is a carrier coated with a layer of heat absorbing element. The transparent cover is installed to the surrounding wall, and a pipe portion is disposed on a surface of the transparent cover and interconnected with the containing space of the surrounding wall. In use, solar energy is absorbed by the heat absorbing unit, and then transmitted into a house through a conveying pipe connected to the pipe portion to warm the house.
