The interior of the panel which is totally enclosed is filled with a heat-carrier medium acting in the manner of a Perkins tube and thermally insulating means are provided within the interior of the panel which means are permeable to the medium in vapour phase in the direction of temperature gradient. In operation the condensate of the medium returns to the heat sink from the heat source only in a predetermined direction. As described a horizontally-positioned building panel has a surface 130 forming a heat sink during day-time and an interior space 134 filled with a permeable porous filling of insulating material and a lowboiling heat carrier medium. Adjacent the outer wall 133 is a condensate dish 135 of corrugated form which collects condensed medium from the outer wall and passes it via a channel 136 and a bimetallic valve 137 to the heat sink for recycling. The heat sink has a heat storage panel 132 of a crystalline substance, e.g. sodium sulphate having a crystallization temperature above a pre-determined level, e.g. 18‹ C. and the valve 137 allows condensate to pass into the space 134 only when the outer wall 133 is cooler than that temperature. The edges 140 of the panel are corrugated, the waves of the corrugations being parallel to the plane of the panel. The heat storage body has an outer covering of sheet metal or concrete and an adsorbent layer may be positioned thereon to enhance flow of condensate thereover. The heat storage body may be electrically heated and the valve 137 may be responsive to two temperatures, which lie respectively above and below the crystallization temperature of the heat storage body by means of two heat storage crystalline substances thereabout.

Abstract: 487,161. Slag wool. STEVENS, A. H. (Johns-Manville Corporation) Dec. 15, 1936, No. 34433. [Glass 22] [Also in Groups IX and VIII] A batt, mat, or felt of mineral wool fibres comprises fibres of mineral wool lying predominantly in directions generally parallel to the face of the felt and interlocked individually therein and results from felting fibres predominantly in individualized form upon a gas permeable member, e.g. 13, under the influence of suction, from a suspension of the fibres in a gaseous medium moving in a predominantly horizontal direction to allow shot and heavier particles to settle away from the suspension of fibres passing to the gas permeable member. The fibres are blasted from a molten stream 9 by a high velocity gaseous jet 10 and a mixed stream 11 of gas, fibres and unnberized material is projected into the chamber 12, the lighter fibres being collected on the gas permeable member 13 under the influence of suction through a hood 17. The member 13 comprises an endless screen driven by sprockets 14, 15, 16. Shot and heavy fibrous clusters settle to the bottom of the chamber 12 and secondary streams of air, or other gas, may be admitted through ports 18 to support the lighter fibres while permitting the settlement of heavier materials. The batt or felt is removed at 19 and wound on a drum 20. A roller 27 serves to seal the chamber 12 and lightly compress the felt. An adhesive such as rubber latex, resin, asphalt or an oxidizing oil may be sprayed on at 23 and a composite felt formed of several such layers. Binding materials such as rubber, oxidizing oils, resins or linseed oil may also be applied to the fibres.
