Abstract
The invention concerns a concentrating collector comprising a cover (1) transparent to the sun's rays, a cylindro-parabolic reflector (2), a coolant element (3) and a transformer (5) for reducing losses of energy by emissivity, said transformer (5) not being contacted with said coolant element (3).
Claims20
A concentrating solar collector comprising a cover (1) that is transparent to solar rays, a reflector (2) of cylindro-parabolic cross section, said cover (1) and said reflector (2) defining a volume (7), and a heat-transfer element (3), characterised in that it further includes a transformer (5) for reducing the emissivity energy losses, said transformer (5) being covered with a substance having a high thermal emission, in that said transformer (5) absorbs some of the solar radiation and reemits heat into said volume (7) and in that said transformer (5) is not in contact with said heat-transfer element (3).
