FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to an apparatus for heating service water with a solar collector, comprising a service water tank with a partly cylindrical jacket as an absorber and an enclosure which covers the service water tank and forms a translucent cylindrical jacket, the axis of which extends parallel to the axis of the jacket of the service water tank.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
[0002] If service water is to be heated with the help of solar power, solar collectors are usually used which comprise a trough-like frame with a base plate acting as an absorber, on which parallel tubular flow channels are provided for water as a heat carrier for example. The trough with the absorber plate and the flow channels which are connected to a distribution and a collecting line is provided with a translucent cover, so that especially the thermal radiation is absorbed by the absorber plate and the flow channels arranged thereon, and the absorbed heat is transferred to the he...
