Patent ID: 8371288

Claim:
A solar heating system comprising: a solar collector/heat exchanger including a solar heat collector panel of corrugated heat conductive material, a heat radiator panel of corrugated heat conductive material, a turbulator/heat radiator panel of corrugated material, and a mounting structure mounting the solar heat collector panel and the heat radiator panel with the turbulator/heat radiator panel sandwiched between the heat collector panel and the heat radiator panel, the mounting structure further defining an air flow path across the solar heat collector panel and the heat radiator panel, the corrugations of the solar heat collector panel and the heat radiator panel extending parallel to the air flow path and the corrugations of the turbulator/heat radiator panel extending perpendicular to the air flow path; and an enclosure defining an unheated air inlet and a heated air outlet and mounting the exchanger with the air flow path positioned between the unheated air inlet and the heated air outlet, the mounting structure being formed to direct unheated air over an outside surface of the heat collector panel, to direct partially heated air from the heat collector panel over an outside surface of the heat radiator panel and to direct partially heated air from the heat radiator panel over the turbulator/heat radiator panel and subsequently to the heated air outlet.
