Abstract:
1. An energy transfer module coupled to a thermal solar module, the energy transfer module comprising: a body including a first end member, a second end member, and four side members configured to enclose a first spatial region within a vicinity of the first end member and a second spatial region within a vicinity of the second end member, the first spatial region being in communication with the second spatial region; one or more inlet openings provided at the first end member for inputting fluid flow from the thermal solar module; an air filter disposed within the first spatial region to remove one or more impurities from the fluid flow; a fan disposed between the first spatial region and the second spatial region to draw the fluid flow through the air filter and a heat exchanger, the fan coupled to a drive motor; the heat exchanger disposed in the first spatial region and having an inlet port and an outlet port coupled to a tank, wherein the tank contains a heat exchange medium configured to flow through the heat exchanger; an outlet provided on the second end member; a first temperature sensor disposed in front of the heat exchanger for measuring inlet air temperature, a second temperature sensor disposed behind the heat exchanger for measuring outlet air temperature, and a third temperature sensor for measuring a heat exchange medium temperature in the tank; and a controller coupled to the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, and the third temperature sensor for determining information about energy transfer from the thermal solar module through the heat exchanger via the one or more outlet openings,
