APPARATUS FOR THE CONCENTRATION OF SOLAR ENERGY INTO A PLAIN SURFACE

摘要

A solar energy collector for the heating of water or other fluids for a variety of domestic and industrial purposes, the concentration of solar rays being effected by their direct impingement on one side of absorbers 3 and by reflection of the solar rays from inclined reflectors 2 to the other side of the absorbers whereby the entire perimeter surface of each absorber is heated thereby ensuring uniform distribution of the energy and rapid increase in temperature of the fluid flowing in the absorbers. The absorbers may be tubular, plane or other shape arranged horizontally or vertically above the reflectors.
