Abstract

The invention provides a solar water heating apparatus with double-row vacuum tubes coupled to a water tank made of stainless steel or enamel. Each of the vacuum tubes is made of an exterior tube and an interior tube separated by a vacuum. The exterior tube is transparent. The interior tube is covered with a layer of light-absorption material. When sunlight shines on the vacuum tube, the water in the tank and the water in the interior tube circulate by convection.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention generally relates to the technology of using solar thermal energy. In particular, this invention relates to a solar water heating system with double-row vacuum tubes coupled to a water tank made of stainless steel or enamel.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Solar water heaters have been widely used for years in many countries. Most of solar water heaters in the market use vacuum tubes for collecting heat energy from sun lights. The vacuum tubes are arranged in an array of a single row and multiple columns. The thermal efficiency of this type of implementation is limited due to the small lighting surface.[0003]What is desired is a solution to enlarge the effective lighting surfaces without changing the overall length and width of the apparatus.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention provides a solution to enlarge the effective lighting surfaces without changing the overall length and width of the equipment.[0005]The apparatus acco...
