Abstract
A solar collector is designed for converting solar radiation into heat and transferring the heat thus collected, by means of a chamber formed of a window exposed to the sun and allowing passage of solar radiation, and of a bottom or opposite end-face. This radiation is absorbed by adequate means fitted inside this chamber, and the heat it entails is carried off outside the latter. Both the window and the bottom which form the chamber, are made of glass elements hermetically sealed to one another along their periphery by low-melt glass welding.
