HIGH EFFICIENCY SYSTEM FOR COLLECTING SOLAR ENERGY AND FOR STORING COLLECTED ENERGY IN A REVERSIBLE WAY, USES OF THE SYSTEM AND MANUFACTURING THEREOF

摘要

A high efficiency system for collecting solar energy and for storing said collected energy in a reversible way, said system comprising: - a concentrating solar dish unit assembly having a rotational axis, which solar dish unit assembly comprises at least one rigid parabolic self-supporting solar collector system; - a heat storage system configured to receive, store and provide, when required, the heat energy collected through a thermal fluid circulating through said heat transfer collector, and - means for circulating the heat transfer fluid from said at least one heat transfer collector to the said thermal storage unit and/or means for circulating a heat transfer fluid heated in the said heat storage system to an exterior element to be heated. A high efficiency system for collecting solar energy and for storing said collected energy in a reversible way, said system comprising: - a concentrating solar dish unit assembly configured to heat a heat transfer fluid circulating in a heat transfer collector positioned close to the focus of said concentrating solar dish unit; - a heat storage system configured to receive, store and provide when required, heat energy collected through a thermal fluid circulating through said heat storage system, said heat storage system comprising at least one housing wherein an assembly of n (n being superior or equal to 1) one-piece radiator/heat exchanger unit, and - means for circulating the heat transfer fluid from said at least one heat transfer collector to the said thermal storage unit and/or for means for circulating heat transfer fluid heated in the said heat storage system to an element to be heated. Use of the high efficiency systems for the reversible storage of solar heat energy and process for manufacturing the thermal storage system according to anyone of claims I to 56, by using assembling methods such as extrusion, melding and screwing.
