Abstract:
A self-draining solar collector system includes one or more solar collector assemblies, a manifold connecting assembly, and a crossover connecting assembly. Each solar collector assembly includes a collector support subsystem, one or more heating pipes, and one or more parabolic reflectors. The manifold connecting assembly connects the heating pipes of each solar collector assembly to a manifold disposed at a lower elevation than the heating pipes of the solar collector assemblies when the solar collector assemblies are oriented in respective draining positions. The crossover connecting assembly connects the heating pipes of each solar collector assembly to a crossover pipe disposed at a higher elevation than the heating pipes of the solar collector assemblies when the solar collector assemblies are oriented in their respective draining positions.

Claim (Index 1):
A self-draining solar collector system, comprising:\n one or more solar collector assemblies, each solar collector assembly including a collector support subsystem, one or more heating pipes, and one or more parabolic reflectors, the one or more parabolic reflectors and the one or more heating pipes of each solar collector assembly configured to rotate with respect to the collector support subsystem of the solar collector assembly; a manifold connecting assembly connecting the one or more heating pipes of each of the one or more of solar collector assemblies to a manifold disposed at a lower elevation than the one or more heating pipes of the one or more solar collector assemblies when the one or more solar collector assemblies are oriented in respective draining positions, the manifold connecting assembly configured to have a downward slope toward the manifold to allow fluid within the one or more heating pipes of the one or more solar collector assemblies to gravitationally drain into the manifold when the one or more solar collector assemblies are oriented in their respective draining positions; and a crossover connecting assembly connecting the one or more heating pipes of each of the one or more solar collector assemblies to a crossover pipe disposed at a higher elevation than the one or more heating pipes of the one or more solar collector assemblies when the one or more solar collector assemblies are oriented in their respective draining positions, the crossover connecting assembly configured to have a downward slope toward the one or more heating pipes of the one or more solar collector assemblies to allow fluid within the crossover pipe to gravitationally drain into the one or more heating pipes of the one or more solar collector assemblies when the one or more solar collector assemblies are oriented in their respective draining positions.
