Heating
Water By Fibre Optic Cable Sunlight
Fibre
optic cable can be used to transport sunlight from a parabolic
solar collector to a water filled tank. The water is heated
when
the painted black interior of the tank absorbs the light and converts
it into heat.
The flexibility of the fibre optic cable makes it easy to
position both the solar collector and water tank. The
cable will not freeze during the winter because it does not
transport water like a conventional solar heating pipe. Energy loss
through the cable is minimal.
