CONDENSER FOR PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTOR

摘要

The present invention provides a condenser for a photochemical reactor, said condenser enabling irregular chemical reactions, which are generated by an electrode of the photochemical reactor being subjected to excessively intense solar light, to be reduced. The condenser for a photochemical reactor according to the present invention includes: a lens (10) that condenses solar light (90) on the electrode of the photochemical reactor (91); a lens motion device that moves the lens in the optical axis direction; an imaging device (16) that images the transmitted solar light (92) which is transmitted through the electrode of the photochemical reactor; an irregular chemical reaction detector that detects the presence of an irregular chemical reaction on the electrode on the basis of the information of the image imaged by the imaging device; and a lens position control unit that, when an irregular chemical reaction is detected by the irregular chemical reaction detector, moves the lens to reduce irregular chemical-reaction generation.
