Thermal insulation of a low capital cost solar-energy collector

Applied Energy, 1980, vol. 6, issue 4, 323-327

Abstract: To achieve least steady-state heat losses across the atmospheric pressure air in a concentric horizontal cavity between a heated inner cylinder and a naturally cooled surrounding cylinder, the radial supports along the length of the cavity should be at approximately 60° from the vertically downwards position. This design recommendation has been incorporated in a simple prototype solar energy collector.
