Photoenergy heat collector
Abstract
A photoenergy heat collector including an outer sleeve and multiple condenser lenses. The outer sleeve has a wall formed with multiple perforations passing through the wall of the outer sleeve from inner side to outer side. The condenser lenses are respectively inlaid in the perforations to focus light beams into the outer sleeve. A water flow can go into one end of the outer sleeve and flow through the outer sleeve and then flow out from the other end of the outer sleeve. Accordingly, as a heat exchanger, the heat of the light beams focused by the condenser lenses into the outer sleeve is absorbed by the water to heat the water. The photoenergy heat collector further includes an inner sleeve disposed in the outer sleeve and extending through the outer sleeve to serve as a passage for the water flow. The focuses of the condenser lenses reside in the outer circumference of the inner sleeve, whereby the inner sleeve can absorb the heat of the light focused by the condenser lenses and transfer the heat to the water flow.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A photoenergy heat collector comprising:
an outer sleeve having a wall which is formed with at least one perforation passing through the wall of the outer sleeve from inner side to outer side; and at least one condenser lens inlaid in the perforation to focus light beams into the outer sleeve.
2 . The photoenergy heat collector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a heat-exchanging section disposed in the outer sleeve for absorbing the energy of the light beams.
3 . The photoenergy heat collector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the heat-exchanging section is an inner sleeve which is disposed in the outer sleeve and extends through the outer sleeve to serve as a passage for a fluid.
4 . The photoenergy heat collector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve are angularly displaceable relative to each other.
5 . The photoenergy heat collector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a light condenser arranged under the outer sleeve for reflecting light beams to the outer sleeve.
6 . The photoenergy heat collector as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a light condenser arranged under the outer sleeve for reflecting light beams to the outer sleeve.
7 . The photoenergy heat collector as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising a light condenser arranged under the outer sleeve for reflecting light beams to the outer sleeve.
