20090272375 | Radiation collector - Disclosed is a radiation collector comprising a pressure cell which is subdivided into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber by means of the concentrator. The small pressure difference between the pressure chambers keeps the concentrator operational in a beam-concentrating form and reduces the wear on the reflective layer of the concentrator. The radiation collector further comprises adequately designed means for establishing the desired pressure in the respective pressure chamber, said means making it possible to compensate changes of the pressure chamber volume resulting from wind load, for example. | 11-05-2009 |

20130206356 | HEAT STORE - Known high-temperature heat storage devices for the storage of heat at a temperature above 100° C. having a container for heat-storing bulk material such as gravel/ceramic spheres have a steel wall which is constructively extremely complex to manufacture for larger heat storage devices or the storage of heat at higher temperatures. According to the invention, the side wall of the heat storage device for its part is supported by a supporting bulk material and is preferably inclined, with the result that the side wall is substantially less stressed and can be made of a non-metal material such as, for example, concrete. Such a heat storage device is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and allows long-term storage of larger amounts of heat at high temperatures. | 08-15-2013 |
20130247961 | SOLAR COLLECTOR HAVING A CONCENTRATOR ARRANGEMENT FORMED FROM SEVERAL SECTIONS - Due to the further concentrators of a second concentrator arrangement in a linear concentrator configured as a trough concentrator, the concentrated radiation is concentrated in focal point areas, with the consequence that higher concentration of the radiation and thus higher temperatures are achievable in the absorber pipe. In order to lower the exponentially increasing heat losses in the absorber pipe (due to the higher temperatures), an absorber arrangement is provided in synergy, comprising rows of individual thermal openings, wherein these rows lie adjacently to each other. | 09-26-2013 |
20140026944 | ABSORBER TUBE FOR A TROUGH COLLECTOR - The invention relates to a trough collector having a focal area and an absorber tube arranged in the focal area, said absorber tube having an insulating area that extends from its outer surface to the inside, enclosing preferably a transport channel that runs through the absorber tube along its length and carries a heat-transporting medium, and is penetrated by at least one thermal opening that extends radially from the outside through the insulating area to the transport channel. According to the invention, the at least one thermal opening comprises a constriction for radiation passing through it, the focal area being located in the constriction. | 01-30-2014 |

20110232295 | METHOD FOR OPERATION OF AN INTEGRATED SOLAR COMBINED-CYCLE POWER STATION, AND A SOLAR COMBINED-CYCLE POWER STATION FOR CARRYING OUT THIS METHOD - A method is provided for operation of an integrated solar combined-cycle power station. The power station includes a water/steam circuit having a steam turbine and a heat recovery steam generator through which hot exhaust gases from a gas turbine flow. The water/steam circuit is additionally supplied with heat from a solar array. In such a method, an optimum cost-benefit relationship is achieved in that the water/steam circuit is designed only for the full load on the gas turbine, and in that, when feeding additional power from the solar array into the water/steam circuit, the load on the gas turbine is reduced, on the basis of the power additionally fed in from the solar array, to such an extent that the total output power of the integrated solar combined-cycle power station remains substantially constant. | 09-29-2011 |

20150292748 | Thermostat - A thermostat for gas-powered cooking appliances includes a body having an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit that respectively receive and supply a gas flow, and a chamber in fluid communication both with the inlet conduit, and also with the outlet conduit either directly, through a main opening formed at one end thereof, or indirectly, through a secondary conduit formed in the body of the thermostat, which reaches the outlet conduit bypassing the main opening. A valve that adjusts gas flow rate is coaxially fitted in the chamber and has a position that is controlled by an expandable member of a thermostatic bulb of the thermostat. The valve is axially deformable beyond a predefined load threshold and compensates for dilations of the expandable member under a normal operating condition, absorbing axial forces exerted by the thermostat knob when rotated to switch off a burner driven by the thermostat. | 10-15-2015 |

20150260410 | THERMOSTAT - A thermostat for cooking appliances powered by gas includes a body defining an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit that receive a gas flow from a supply source and to supply it to a gas burner, and a chamber having a substantially cylindrical shape that is in fluid communication with the inlet conduit, and also with the outlet conduit either directly, through a main opening formed at one end thereof, or indirectly, through a secondary conduit formed in the body of the thermostat. The gas flows into the outlet conduit bypassing the main opening. A one-piece valve adjusting the gas flow rate is coaxially fitted in the chamber and guided by its peripheral walls. These features make the structural configuration of the thermostat body and its conduits is much more compact, functional and less expensive than in thermostats known in the art. | 09-17-2015 |

20100266796 | Pneumatic Structural Element, and Roof Produced Therefrom - The pneumatic structural element according to the invention comprises from one to a number of interconnected elements of the following construction: two hollow bodies ( | 10-21-2010 |
20110209416 | PNEUMATIC NODE FOR COMPRESSION ELEMENTS - A joint element for a pneumatic structural element. The joint element includes a sleeve, a compression member, two tension members and two spherical caps. In each case one joint element is fitted for the spherical caps. The joint elements serve for introducing tensile and compressive forces, in a manner free of bending moments, into the pneumatic structural element. The joint element has holes for fastening the compression member with a screw, on the one hand, and holes for accommodating the tension members, on the other hand. The symmetrical arrangement of the holes ensures that the vectors of bearing forces and of the tensile and compressive forces in the joint element added together give zero and, furthermore, the bending moments occur symmetrically in relation to the compression members. Configuring the joint element as a plate ensures that torques are neither introduced from the outside nor diverted to the outside. | 09-01-2011 |
20110252716 | PNEUMATIC SUPPORT - A pneumatic support comprises a long hollow body, tapering towards the ends and two pressure/tension elements. The hollow body is embodied by a sleeve of gas-tight, flexible, non-stretch material. Said sleeve can be formed from two layers, an external non-stretch, flexible sleeve and an inner gas-tight elastic bladder. The hollow body can be pressurised with compressed gas by means of a valve. The both pressure/tension elements lie along diametrically opposed surface lines of the hollow body on the same and are partly or completely frictionally connected to the hollow body along said surface lines. The ends of the pressure/tension elements are frictionally connected to each other. | 10-20-2011 |
20120266868 | PARABOLIC COLLECTOR - A parabolic collector for the concentration of solar radiation has a reflective surface which is approximated to an ideal paraboloid and has a number of individual collectors. According to the invention, individual collectors are provided with a pressure cell with a concentrator formed from a flexible film, whereby, under operating pressure conditions, the concentrator is curved differently in a predetermined manner in a first and in a second direction for approximating the ideal paraboloid, such that the radius of curvature in the first direction is greater than that in the second direction. The production method for such a concentrator consists in the fact that the outline of the individual collectors is designed in the outline of the parabolic collector, the true dimensions of the individual collectors being determined from the intersection of cylinders positioned on the outline with the paraboloid of the parabolic collector. | 10-25-2012 |
