SOLAR-ENERGY COLLECTOR/CONCENTRATOR, WITH CASSEGRAIN-TYPE OPTICS

摘要

The collector/concentrator includes a primary concave reflector (1) supported on a base body (3) obtained by injection moulding, which defines a central support (5) supporting a region around a central opening (6) of the primary reflector (1), a plurality of peripheral legs (7) supporting respective peripheral regions of the primary reflector (1) and first integral connection members (8) connecting said peripheral legs (7) with said central support (5). The peripheral legs (7) have bottom ends (7a) leaning on a substantially flat supporting surface and top ends (7b) located above said peripheral regions of the primary reflector (1) that are in contact with a substantially flat transparent panel (15) supporting a secondary convex reflector (2) that concentrates the solar radiation reflected by the primary reflector (1) towards a receiver unit (18) through said central opening (6).
