Abstract

The device part of the embodiment over the tiles (14) with wide openings(15) which mainly involves, openings (15) in which are houses both irregular bodies (1-13), of transparent glass, hermetically closed and vacuum filled, which establish surface continuity through the upper face with the rest of the tile (14) and in whose interior are established parabolic cylinder reflectors (2-3) which conduct solar radiation to a concentration funnel (5) which defines a semi-cylindrical channel and adapting to the heat transfer tube (6), which rests over a support cradle (7) which in turn is pressed against aforementioned tube (6) by a bellows lifting device (16), also keeping the support cradle (7) and irregular bodies (1) fixed using anchor elements (8). Thus simple mounting of the collection devices is achieved by a simple pressure coupling system, achieving close contact with the heat transfer tubes which remain hidden and protected below the tiles.

Description

PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a solar energy collection device, which makes a beneficial change to the tiles of an existing roof or by making a roof that comprises them, either curved or mixed, in such a way that said tiles, besides fulfilling their classic function as covering elements against the effects of the wind and weather, particularly against rainwater, act as solar energy collection devices to heat a thermal transmission fluid.

[0002] The purpose of the invention is to achieve a high performance energy installation that does not alter the aesthetic configuration of the roof on which it is incorporated, both in relation to the actual means of collection and particularly the means of energy transmission.

[0003] The invention also concerns the particularly suitable mounting procedure of the different elements that take part in the installation of this heat transfer system under the tiles, completely protecting this latter.

[0004] The invention, ther...
