Solar Photoelectric conversion apparatus with cooling means

摘要

A solar photoelectric conversion apparatus comprises a light converter immersed in a transparent liquid heat carrier which occupies the lower part of the cavity of a hollow hermetically sealed reservoir. The apparatus also includes a solar radiation concentrator inserted in a beam of a solar radiation incident on an active surface of the light converter. During operation of the apparatus, vapors of the heat carrier condense on the inner walls of the reservoir and return by gravity to the liquid in the lower portion of the cavity, thereby cooling the liquid and the light converter immersed therein by "thermal siphon" action.
