Abstract

A solar light (heat) absorption material which has an excellent solar light (heat) absorbing ability and a simple structure, and may be used as a low-cost and high-performance heat absorption/accumulation material. Also, a solar light (heat) absorption/control building component including the solar light (heat) absorption material that allows for easy change of its solar light (heat) absorption/control ability. The material includes particles dispersed into a liquid medium having a specific heat ranging from 0.4 to 1.4 cal/g/° C. and a melting point of 5° C. or lower. The dispersed particles have L*value of 30 or less as determined by the CIE-Lab color system (light source D65).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A solar light (heat) absorption/control building component comprising:
a hollow portion and bagasse dispersion liquid containing particles, which have L*value of 30 or less as determined by CIE-Lab color system (light source D65), dispersed into a liquid medium having a specific heat ranging from 0.4 to 1.4 cal/g/° C. and a melting point of 5° C. or lower, the particles being carbonized bagasse having micropores, and the particles having a particle diameter from 0.01 to 1 mm and a bulk specific gravity from 0.05 to 0.2 g/ml, filled in the hollow portion of a plate-like container having an upper planar face and a lower planar face both of which have light transmission characteristics, wherein the plate-like container is configured to allow solar light radiated to the upper planar face to pass through the bagasse dispersion liquid filled in the hollow portion and subsequently to be emitted from the lower planar face;
a detecting means for detecting an outside condition; and
an adjusting means for adjusting the light absorbance of the bagasse dispersion liquid according to the outside condition.

2. A solar light (heat) absorption/control building component comprising:
a hollow portion and bagasse dispersion liquid containing particles, which have L*value of 30 or less as determined by CIE-Lab color system (light source D65), dispersed into a liquid medium having a specific heat ranging from 0.4 to 1.4 cal/g/° C. and a melting point of 5° C. or lower, the particles being carbonized bagasse having micropores, and the particles having a particle diameter from 0.01 to 1 mm and a bulk specific gravity from 0.05 to 0.2 g/ml, filled in the hollow portion of a plate-like container having an upper planar face and a lower planar face both of which have light transmission characteristics, wherein the plate-like container is configured to allow solar light radiated to the upper planar face to pass through the bagasse dispersion liquid filled in the hollow portion and subsequently to be emitted from the lower planar face;
a detecting means for detecting an outside condition;
a tank of bagasse dispersion liquid for adjustment with particles contents thereof changed in a plurality of steps and a tank of a medium for dilution; and
liquid feeding pumps attached to the respective tanks, the liquid feeding pumps being configured to change a flow rate of the bagasse dispersion liquid for adjustment supplied to the hollow portion and a flow rate of the medium for dilution based on the outside condition detected by the detecting means to change a dispersion content of the particles in the hollow portion.

3. The solar light (heat) absorption/control building component according to claim 1 , wherein said outside condition comprises at least one of lightness and temperature.

4. A solar light (heat) absorption/control building component comprising:
a hollow portion and bagasse dispersion liquid containing particles, which have L*value of 30 or less as determined by CIE-Lab color system (light source D65), dispersed into a liquid medium having a specific heat ranging from 0.4 to 1.4 cal/g/° C. and a melting point of 5° C. or lower, the particles being carbonized bagasse having micropores, and the particles having a particle diameter from 0.01 to 1 mm and a bulk specific gravity from 0.05 to 0.2 g/ml, wherein the bagasse dispersion liquid is filled in the hollow portion of a plate-like container having an upper planar face and a lower planar face both of which have light transmission characteristics, wherein the plate-like container is configured to allow solar light radiated to the upper planar face to pass through the bagasse dispersion liquid filled in the hollow portion and subsequently to be emitted from the lower planar face;
a solar radiation meter for detecting a solar radiation amount;
a tank of bagasse dispersion liquid for adjustment with particles contents thereof changed in a plurality of steps and a tank of a medium for dilution; and
liquid feeding pumps attached to the respective tanks, the liquid feeding pumps being configured to change a flow rate of the bagasse dispersion liquid for adjustment supplied to the hollow portion and a flow rate of the medium for dilution based on the solar radiation amount detected by the solar radiation meter to change a dispersion content of the particles in the hollow portion to allow the amount of solar light after passing through the bagasse dispersion liquid filled in the hollow portion to be 300 μmol/sec/m 2 or less.
