Abstract
Primarily this system includes an air inducting, circulating, and exhausting section and a pair of solar responsive fluid treating sections, one of the latter being provided to cool the air and the other to heat the air. Both solar responsive fluid treating sections, however, function in concert for cooling and heating. The air inducting, circulating and exhausting section has duct portions through which air is drawn from the atmosphere by a fan and either used as admitted or heated or cooled, then directed into the enclosure being served, all or part of the air being recirculated, the part not recirculated being discharged to the atmosphere. The duct portions contain air heating and air and other solution cooling devices as well as fans and guide or flow controlling vanes. One solar responsive fluid treating section has an absorptive chemical solution reservoir, a solution cooler, a solar heated solution concentrator, heat and vapor exchangers, pumps, valves, and connecting lines. The other solar responsive fluid treating section has a fluid heat transfer solution storage tank, a solar heat collector, heat exchangers, pumps, valves and connecting lines. The latter section is a substantially conventional solar heating system coupled in a unique manner with the first solar responsive section to cooperate therewith in both the heating and refrigerating modes of operation of the subject system.
