20120272949 | PARAMETRIC CYLINDRICAL SOLAR COLLECTOR HAVING AN OPTIMISED SECONDARY RECONCENTRATOR AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING SAME - Parametric cylindrical solar collector with an optimized secondary reconcentrator and its design process, where the geometry of the primary reflector is an evolution of the Helmet collector concept towards a discontinuous curve that allows increasing the C/Cmax concentration to over 0.52 as well as reducing the wind loads. The structure is optimized to withstand the different loads to which the collector is exposed. The collector's center of gravity is brought closer to the axis of rotation of the collector. The geometry of the secondary reconcentrator is optimized and the collection efficiency of the collector is of 100%. The secondary reconcentrator is obtained partially mirroring the glass tube that keeps the vacuum in the absorber tube. | 11-01-2012 |

20140202522 | SOLAR PLANT - A solar plant enabling transformation of solar energy exploiting most of the solar spectrum with very efficient yields, including: at least one solar collector including a concentrator, configured to collect and concentrate solar radiation in the concentrator; a solar laser device to transform radiation received from the concentrators into laser radiation; a receiver and/or a solar reactor configured to receive radiation from the laser device and transform it into another form of energy; and can include flexible lightguides or plane mirrors to transport the radiation received from the laser device to the solar reactor and/or receiver, and photovoltaic cells interspersed among the collectors and laser devices to transform the concentrated radiation into electricity and allow radiation not transformed to pass to the laser devices. | 07-24-2014 |
20140238018 | RECEIVER FOR A SOLAR THERMAL INSTALLATION AND SOLAR THERMAL INSTALLATION THAT INCLUDES SAID RECEIVER - A solar receiver having a higher yield than a central tower receiver. The receiver comprises a plurality of absorbent tubes for absorbing incident energy from light guides suitable for capturing solar radiation in solar collector concentration focal points, the absorbent tubes being arranged consecutively and in parallel, adjacently in relation to a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the absorbent tubes. The tubes contain a circulating heat-transfer fluid. The longitudinal axes are contained in at least two planes, defining at least two lines of absorbent tubes arranged in an alternating manner, and partially superimposed. The receiver also comprises containers subjected to a vacuum in order to enclose the absorbent tubes and reduce losses by convection. | 08-28-2014 |
