3. Reading exercise
Solar collector
Solar collectors absorb heat from the sun's rays. They can be used to
effectively heat and cool buildings. The most common type ofcollector for
space heating is a flat plate designed to absorb both radiation falling
directly on it, as well as radiation scattered by the atmosphere.
Collectors are usually panels of aluminium, copper, or steel. The panels are
usually painted black. The black colouring inhibits reflection and

14
 encourages absorption. Insula- tion is placed behind the collector to
prevent heat loss.
The collector is covered with glass or plastic. This layer allows short-wave
radiation - or light - to enter the collector. A.5 the radiation passes through
the glass or plastic, it is transformed from short-wave radiation to long-
wave radiation- or heat. Long-wave radiation cannot pass through the glass
or plastic back into the atmosphere. Therefore, the heat is trapped within
the collector. Collectors are usually placed at an angle to maximise the
amount of radiation falling on them.
A transfer agent (air or water) is circulated through the collector and
becomes heated. A.5 it leaves the collector and travels through the heating
ducts of a house, it warms the air inside the house or brings hot water to
sinks, tubs, and appliances. With solar collectors, storage is a problem:
great amounts of heat must be stored for nighttime use and for use during
cloudy days.
Refer to the passage Solar Collector and choose from the passage NO
MORE THAN THREE WORDS to complete the following sentences.
1. Solar collectors can heat and cool houses with heat absorbed
from…………..
2. Collectors are coloured black to prevent……….
3. Glass and plastic are used to cover the collector so that short-wave
radiation can……….

5. For nighttime and cloudy days, heat needs to be…………….
