Liquid modular lens for condensing solar energy

A modular liquid lens for condensing solar energy, said lens comprising lenticular recipients having shapes and dimensions for providing a reduced focus of solar flux corresponding to large surface areas, said lenticular recipients being transparent and susceptible to molding and containing in their interior a refracting fluid, wherein said fluid can withstand the climatological condition to which it will be subjected, wherein the modular lens can have a convergent or divergent shape, and wherein the modular lens can be placed on a moving solar tracking structure or a fixed structure without solar tracking.

A condenser of solar energy on a moving structure, provided with one or several modular liquid lenses, concentrators of solar rays, being provided in their interior with a divergent lens which intercepts the light source and converts it into a beam of parallel rays which impinge upon a liquid prism which refracts the beam towards an absorbent which heats up and cedes the energy to the fluid which circulates through a primary circuit which, by means of an exchanger, transmits the heat to the secondary fluid, evaporating it at high pressure and temperature for its energy application, and being provided with a sliding rail along which the assembly formed by the prism and the divergent lens moves, tracking the light source by means of the action of an appropriate tracking system.
