Receiver module for solar power station with in-built thermal monitoring

摘要

Receiver module (MR) to form a solar power station receiver, said receiver module (MR) of longitudinal axis comprising a metal structure (4) and an absorber module (MA), the metal structure (4) defining a cavity (6) extending along the longitudinal axis and in the bottom of which the absorber module (MA) is housed, said cavity (6) being provided with an opening intended to be oriented toward at least one mirror (2) of the solar power station, said opening being flanked by two lateral portions (9) of the metal structure (4) running longitudinally one on each side of the cavity (6), said receiver module (MR) also comprising thermocouples (G, D) (20) arranged on each of the portions (9) that are lateral with respect to the longitudinal axis (X) in order to detect a temperature difference between a reference temperature and two points of the metal structure (4) that are on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis.
