SOLAR COLLECTOR

摘要

A solar collector comprises a linear, concentrator type reflector and an absorber spaced from the reflector. The absorber comprises a first absorber element spaced from the reflector which has a surface oriented towards the reflector for receiving solar radiation therefrom and fluid carrying conduit thermally coupled to the absorber surface. The absorber also comprises a second absorber element having an absorber surface oriented to receive directly transmitted solar radiation, and a fluid carrying conduit thermally coupled to the absorber surface of the second absorber element.
