Abstract
The system for asynchronous remote steering of reflectors has parallel asynchronous remote steering mechanisms operably connected to reflectors. A powerless (mechanical) focal beam brake is also provided. In addition to the powerless focal beam brake, a plurality of safety mechanisms are employed. Remote angle checking is provided to adapt the system for solar thermal power plants, solar furnaces, or the like.
Claims8
A system for asynchronous remote steering of reflectors, comprising:
- a plurality of reflectors, each of the reflectors having a first driven wheel connected thereto operable to adjust and angle of rotation of the reflector and a second driven wheel connected thereto to brake adjustment of the angle of rotation;
- a plurality of rotator drive wheels mechanically connected to the first driven wheels of the reflectors;
- a plurality of brake drive wheels mechanically connected to the second driven wheels of the reflectors;
- a braking motor;
- a rotator motor;
- and
- means for sequentially engaging the rotator motor and the braking motor to the rotator and brake drive wheels for one of the reflectors after is another.
