Benefits of technology

[0008]According to at least one aspect of the invention, there is described a system for using solar power and solar heat to heat a liquid that can be used to control heat, power, cooling, and humidity in a structure to provide an autonomous building that is independent of power grids. The solar system can utilize a desiccant cycle to cool liquid which can be used for air conditioning. An advanced recycling system can use water in stages (i.e., “gray water”) to efficiently use and recycle scarce water with a limited amount of power requirements.

Problems solved by technology

One drawback to solar power, however, is that it tends to have low thermal efficiencies and the amount of area that a home would need to break even for the year on energy requirements is very high.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0015]The present invention is to a heating and cooling system which can be used with a solar powered building. FIGS. 1A and B show an exemplary system in accordance with at least one aspect of the invention.

[0016]Solar power is becoming more important as fuel costs continue to rise and as more groups become interested in “green” technology. One such arrangement for a solar powered building is shown in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 948,029 filed Nov. 30, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0017]The enclosed system may be used with such a building, but one skilled in the art would recognize that such a system could also be used with other energy systems presently existing or yet to be invented. However, preferably a solar collector 40 acting as a solar boiler is used in conjunction with the present system.

[0018]Referring to the drawings the HVAC system according to a preferred aspect of the invention will now be described. The system provides many of th...

Abstract

A solar powered system for providing heat, power and air condition. According to at least one aspect of the invention, there is described a system for using solar power and solar heat to heat a liquid that can be used to control heat, power, cooling, and humidity in a structure to provide an autonomous building that is independent of power grids. The solar system can utilize a desiccant cycle to cool liquid which can be used for air conditioning. An advanced recycling system can use water in stages (i.e., “gray water”) to efficiently use and recycle scarce water with a limited amount of power requirements.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 948,029, filed Nov. 30, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference. This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 61 / 021,356, filed Jan. 16, 2008, which is also incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for using solar power to heat, power and cool a structure.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]Interest in solar power continues to accelerate in the face of global warming, concern over the long term availability of petroleum and the pressures of rising energy prices. Tapping even a portion of available solar power has the potential to reduce reliance on petroleum and to hopefully reduce pressures on the national energy grid by distributing power generating sources more locally. Additionally, using solar power in rem...
