Solar furnace

Abstract

The invention relates to a solar furnace. A solar furnace includes an outer insulation chamber and an inner reaction chamber disposed inside the outer insulation chamber. The inner reaction chamber is disposed inside the outer insulation chamber and includes a second solar window in alignment with the first solar window. An oil boiler is thermally connected to the inner reaction chamber. The oil boiler includes incoming and outgoing pipes disposed in a middle air-circulating tunnel to absorb the heat energy from the hot air curtain. Oil flowing through the oil boiler can be heated by heat energy produced in the inner reaction chamber when concentrated solar beams reflected from a solar dish enter the inner reaction chamber through the outer and inner solar windows. The solar furnace further includes a plurality of channels mounted within the inner reaction chamber for reflecting solar beams and heat absorption, and a plurality of tanks thermally connecting to the plurality of channels, whereby fluid flowing through the plurality of tanks is heated by heat energy absorbed by the plurality of channels.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to solar furnaces. Background technique [0002] Solar furnaces that harness the sun's energy to generate electricity are well known in the art. Over the years, solar energy from the sun has been recognized and many attempts have been made to harness this energy and convert it into useful energy. Solar cells have been successfully used to convert solar energy into electricity. Similarly, solar energy has been converted into heating systems (eg, solar furnaces, etc.). However, huge solar collector panels, which cover a large area of ​​the building structure to be heated by the solar furnace, and large storage chambers are already a feature of conventional solar furnaces, and, through a liquid medium, transfer energy from the solar collectors The transferred heat is stored in huge storage chambers. The heat stored in the storage chamber is then circulated through the building structure through a separate fluid flow mecha...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] These traditional solar furnaces are complex, expensive and difficult to install

Their inefficiency is that there is too much heat loss when transferring solar heat from the collector to the storage chamber

Also, these solar furnaces cannot simply be installed in the existing building structure and cannot be built as auxiliary heating equipment for the traditional heating system usually in the building structure

In addition, the solar energy absorption rate of traditional solar furnaces is not high
