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

摘要

The collector/concentrator includes a concave primary reflector (1) supported on an injection-moulded base body (3), which defines a central support (5) that supports a region around a central aperture (6) of the primary reflector (1), a plurality of peripheral feet (7) that support respective peripheral regions of the primary reflector (1), and first integral connection members (8) that connect said peripheral feet (7) to said central support (5). The peripheral feet (7) have lower ends (7a) that rest on a substantially planar supporting surface and upper ends (7b) located above said peripheral regions of the primary reflector (1) and that are in contact with a substantially planar transparent panel (15) that supports a convex secondary reflector (2) that concentrates solar radiation reflected by the primary reflector (1) towards a receiving unit (18) via said central aperture (6).
