Abstract

A plate type solar absorber is provided with two sets of ducts each with its own header system. The ducts of each set are proportioned to provide for greater and lesser flow rates of liquid to be heated and may be selectively operated to provide heated liquid at differing temperatures. Means are provided to enable air for room heating to be drawn into a building through the set of larger ducts.
