    Abstract: An improved solar collector for heating space air comprising a concentric arrangement of an inner cylindrical shell around which is coiled heat transfer tubing. Around the tubing is mounted a plurality of refractors arranged side-by-side in a plurality of directions so that as the sun moves across the sky during the day, successive groups of refractors bend the sunlight upon the coiled tubing.
