Abstract
A receiver for solar power stations comprises a plurality of parabolic mirs combined with spherical collectors located substantially in the focal point of each mirror. These spherical collectors form absorbers which may be connected in series and/or in parallel with each other.
Claims11
A receiver for solar power stations, comprising hollow mirror means each having a respective focal point, spherical absorber means operatively positioned substantially in the respective focal point, said spherical absorber means comprising spherical or hemispherical body means having respective surface wall means, distributed circulatory duct means operatively forming part of said surface wall means, and galvanically deposited cover layer means formed over said surface wall means and duct means, said spherical absorber means being irradiated on the outside thereof by sunlight concentrated by the hollow mirror means.
A receiver for solar power stations, comprising hollow mirror means each having a respective focal length, spherical absorber means operatively positioned substantially in the respective focal point, said spherical absorber means comprising inner hemispherical wall means having a winding groove preformed therein, and distributed duct means comprising tubular channel means wound into the groove preformed in said hemispherical wall means.
