Solar heating system
TLDR
In this paper, the collector temperature bears a predetermined relation to the storage medium, and a heat exchange liquid dissipating means is provided to dissipate heat in the medium when the collector's temperature exceeds a predetermined value.Abstract:
A solar heating system of the liquid heat transfer collector type in which provision is made for circulating the heat exchange medium only, then the collector temperature bears a predetermined relation to the storage medium, and where, a heat exchange liquid dissipating means is provided to dissipate heat in the medium when the collector temperature exceeds a predetermined value.read more

Hybrid water heating system
TL;DR: In this paper, a single circulation pump circulates fluid between at least one heat exchanger and each of the heat recovery units and preferably the solar collector to heat the potable water.
Patent
System for storage and use of solar energy
TL;DR: In this article, a system for storing solar energy in the form of heated water is described. The system includes an above ground swimming pool in conjunction with a solar collector whereby the water of the pool is heated and stored therein until needed for use.
Patent
Focusing solar energy apparatus
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus employing cylindrical focusing parabolic mirrors (parabolic troughs) of an optimized configuration capable of being manufactured by techniques of mass production to focus sunlight onto a specifically designed heat pipe which is to carry water or other heat transfer fluid is described.
Patent
High temperature thermal storage system utilizing solar energy units
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal storage system includes a solar collector, where a first fluid circulating through the collector is piped to a heat exchanger, where heat from the first fluid is transferred to fluid in the accumulator tank.
