Patent ID: 6880553

Claim:
A solar air conditioning system, comprising: a solar collector assembly as an air heating path, having: a heat-absorbing set including several modular heat-absorbing units to form multiple heat-absorbing channels for absorbing solar energy; a transparent panel installed above the beat-absorbing set to absorb solar energy and protect the heat-absorbing set, and a support base installed beneath the heat-absorbing set to support and fix the solar collector assembly; an inlet assembly installed at an entrance of the solar collector assembly and communicating with the heat-absorbing channels of the multiple heat-absorbing set; and an outlet assembly installed at an exit of the solar collector assembly and communicating with the multiple heat-absorbing channels of the heat-absorbing set; wherein said modular heat-absorbing units comprise a plurality of separate heat-absorbing plates which are detachably assembled to the support base to form upper heat-absorbing channels between the transparent panel and the heat-absorbing plates, and lower heat-absorbing channels between the heat-absorbing plates and the support base, wherein the upper and lower heat-absorbing channels are located above and below the heat-absorbing plates, respectively, the lower heat-absorbing channels forming air flow paths allowing air passing therethrough; and the upper heat-absorbing channels forming a substantially closed space in which air is substantially stagnant.
