Abstract
A heat pump use for expelling solar thermal energy by electromechanically transferring heat to a major component and continuously expels it from an upper level of a static structure. The invention receives and transfer solar thermal energy between two metal sheets that restricts heat and by means of airflow heat energy is transfer to a condensing unit. Solar energy is thereby expelled out into the ambient conventionally by means of airflow from a condensing unit draining system.
Description
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the invention shown as an expression how a typical housing unit circulates unwanted heated air inside a typical roof. Typical of housing units most of the air circulates and encapsulates by the incoming radiation. This circulation of heated air increases dramatically a heat bubble within.



FIG. 2 illustrates a bi-level frame constructed below the roof top material. The illustration shows how the upper level metal sheet (1) would receive the incoming radiation by conduction to the inside into its conduit of which it would be supported by inner supporting column (3) which are themselves supported by the lower level metal sheet (2).



FIG. 3 illustrates a cross section view between the upper metal sheet (1) and the lower metal sheet (2) with a view of an intersecting rail (5) with pump-to-chamber perforations (4) that allow for a continual flow of air through the chambers. The inner supporting columns (3) restrict free flow of air thus only permitting the air to circulate the chambers and through the cross sectional chamber-to-condenser perforation (6) only. Air movement passes only through the intersecting rail (5) which also serves for sustaining the weight of the upper metal sheet (1) and roof top materials.



FIG. 4 is a diagram of how free flowing air circulates within the chambers. Top view of diagram shows air movement through every cubical air chamber (26) finalizing back to the condensing unit (10). From the condensing unit (10) the air would then recycle again through internal or external pump method. Airflow may only pass through pump-to-chamber perforations (4) and continue through chamber-to-condenser perforation (6). The intersecting rail (5) and the inner supporting columns (3) restrict airflow movement.


In FIG. 5 the pump air would come about by the force of an air pump (15). This air would come directly from condensing coil (12). Movement of air first would travel through each cubical air chamber (26) as it passes through the pump-to-chamber perforations (4) through the chamber-to-condenser perforation (6) and unto the condensing unit air inlet (13). From their the air pump (15) suctions the incoming cooled air and receives it by means of an coil-to-pump conduit (16) from the eventual condensing coil (12) where the heat energy accumulated is condensed. As the heat energy heats the condensing coil (12) the fan blade (20) vents the air out to the ambient. The blowing fan blade (20) suctions air in the condensing unit (10) through condensing unit opening (11) in the condensing unit housing. As the force air in, it passes through the heated condensing coils (12) that are then cooled down by the air that passes through it. The cooled air is then recycled back to the first cubical air chamber (26) by the pump-to-cubical air chamber conduit (17). This process is repeated until the thermostat or until the electrical switch turns off the whole system.


As shown is FIG. 5, various components help make the condensing unit (10) a complete system. The condensing unit (10) locked into the roof by means of condensing unit screws (21) that locked by means of supporting columns (7). Other supporting devices are use to lock the air pump (15) in place for example the screws (14) that retain the air pump (15) in position. This is the same effect created by the supporting beams (19) that maintains the fan motor (18) and fan blade (20) in proper position. The metallic conduits that constitute the Invention seat on top of the roof supported by cross roof support frame (22) and the vertical roof column (23).


In FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of the Invention shown with incoming solar radiation hitting its uppermost layer, the roof shingles (9). The radiation passes through the roof asphalt (8) by means of conduction and into the cubical air chamber (26) by means of convection by the upper metal sheet (1). Separating the upper metal sheet (1) on top of the lower metal sheet (2) are the inner columns (3). Natural roof support frame (22) and the adjacent roof column (23) support the outer rooftop and the Invention. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of how the whole system operates. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of power applied to the invention.


Last in FIG. 9, the condensing unit (10) illustrates the mechanical housing. At the bottom sides are the condensing unit brackets (24) that hold the condensing unit (10) on top of the roof. At its sides the condensing unit (10) has condensing unit opening (11) where air is force in and out through the condensing unit air outlet (13) and to the ambient surroundings.
