Abstract
A solar energy collecting system includes a water tank and a solar collector and a pump for pumping water from the water tank to the solar collector. A sensor is arranged close to the solar collector. A CPU is connected to the pump and the temperature sensor in order to circulate the water according to the water temperature at the inlet of the solar collector. The water can be circulated in a fast speed when at noon. The water may be heated with a lengthened heating time and may be heated with a smaller temperature difference so as to effectively collect solar energy.

Solar heat system

TL;DR: In this paper, a valve module is provided which finds particular utility in a domestic solar water heater system, which includes a collector, a storage tank, and a circulating pump, and the valve module, upon a signal from the control module, causes the water to drain out of the collector when the temperature of the water in the collector falls to freezing temperatures so as to prevent damage to the collector.

Differential temperature controller for use in a solar energy conversion system

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated circuit dc-comparator compares voltage signals representative of sump water and collector water temperatures in a solar energy conversion system and continuously provides a direct current voltage signal from the time that it is sensed that the collector water is 11° F warmer than the sumps water, until such time as it is detected that the collectors water is only 2°F warmer than Sumps water.
