Description

The invention relates to a device for the accumulation of radiant energy, and in particular to aaa device for the accumulation of solar energy, means for facilitating the correct orientation of such a device to the sun, means for protecting the device from adverse weather conditions and means for attaching the device.

In order to use solar energy for heating or to generate electricity, it is essential to concentrate the sun's rays in order to obtain high temperatures in an environment for energy storage and transport.

There are different methods of concentrating the sun's radiation. One of the methods is to use a round mirror with a parabolic section and a reflector line to the lamb. Dara »the pain mirror needs to be installed but a suitable way to allow it to follow the sun's course constantly through the celestial affair and the correct orientation to the trajectory of the sun through the celestial affair changes every day as the inclination of the sun changes from summer solstice to winter solstice®. To meet these requirements, complex non-mechanics are required · the above mentioned solar energy is concentrated in the small single point of the cusp, where a suitable & aeroer of heat is installed and it is difficult to transport that energy to the place of use .

& other system, long parallel mirror-covered surfaces and a parabolic cross-section are directed to the sun. m this anathema the concentration ae is carried out in the focal line of the par & lie in the linear arrangement of the concentrating concave surfaces. · The surfaces covered with mirrors are formed either by whole parabolic mirrors or by a series of mirrors. In any case, & in focus and efficiency, the mirrors or series of mirrors must be fixed so that they do not align with the collectors arranged in the focal line of the parabolic reflector. exceptionally large and precisely constructed structures ·

Reflective reflective surface collectors should be oriented north-south and reflectors mounted so that they can follow the movement of the sun at different times of the day · meeting these expectations also requires the use of complex mechanisms ·

The solar energy is then collected as follows in a tube containing heat absorbing liquid, the tube being mounted in focus on the parabolic reflecting surfaces.

B) the collecting system with concave reflective surfaces and the shape of a deer, the reflectors can also be mounted in an east-west direction, and then the reflectors need to be directed once a day to the trajectory of the sun for change in decoding. This targeting also requires complex mechanics *

The installed parabolic reflecting grooves in each north-west and east-west configuration are adjusted to maintain their focus on the slate by mounting on an axis parallel to the focal line of the hung coated grooves and generally require a large number of support, rotary and coupling facilities.

It is also absolutely necessary to position the reflecting surfaces of the storage & solar energy unit so that they are not subjected to possible damage caused by, for example, hail · This is often the case with the use of high quality and sweet expensive glass bent in reflective structures mirrors. In addition, the necessary protection is often achieved by inverting the mirror surfaces away from the incoming hail.

It is an object of the invention to overcome or substantially better one or more of the disadvantages described above.

In the accompanying drawings and first in Figures 1 to 3, a solar energy storage device 10 according to * · · a recommended notion of the invention is included, including a circular water container, my tank 11, for example to be evacuated from a reservoir or catchment area or a purpose-built container comprising a cherry Q9 & L & 12 that encloses and holds the container in container 11. In the cadavera 11, there is a platform 13 there to float on the container 14 about level 15 holding the container. The platform 13 may be constructed from a floating material such as foam material or mounted on a substrate of such material. Alternatively, the platform 13 may be closed-loop air-conditioned to provide me with other means to make it float.

A rim 16 is attached to the platform 13 or is formed as a whole about it so that it forms a cup-shaped body snugly fitting to the outer diameter of the platform 13, the rim 16 extends below the lower side of the platform 13 ·

As in the middle of Figures 2 and 3, a channel 17 is constructed in the base 18 of the container 11, which closes around the container 11 so as to be of annular shape, the other diameter of kmaaa17 is * smaller than the diameter of the crown 16 as in in this way, it forms a playground ^ 19 ± on which the crown 16 will rest upon withdrawal of the mold from the container 11.

Around the inner diameter of the container wall 12 mounted guide rollers 20 so as to maintain the relative position of the platform 13 by clamping on the crown 16 "Kja or more of the rollers 20 can be driven by a motor to properly rotate the platform 13 when It adjusts the correct position of the solar energy storage device to the sun.

One or more discharge pipes 21 are connected to a suitable washer and valve device 22aa so that water from the underside of the platform 13 is pumped to the upper side of the platform 13 by flowing through the outlets 24, or to an additional reservoir / not shown / through pipes 23 · The velocity and direction of non-flowing water can be controlled By valve devices to pump 22 · Refresh 18 of container 11 is also provided with channel 25, channel 25 is connected to valve devices to pump 22 by pipe 26 · I was crying 13aa plate mounted multiple sunbeam concentrators 27 disposed as shown in FIG. 1, side-by-side and each containing, as shown in more detail in FIGS. 4 and 5, a series of parallel mirrors 28 with curved or flat elongated shape; angle so as to act as a large parabolic mirror. These mirrors 28 are arranged in order to focus the sunlight on an accumulated energy tube 29 above them, eg a black tube, the collector tube 29 is mounted on a suitable frame structure 30 in triangular shape over the mirrors 28 · The collector tubes 29 oo are connected together in a suitable manner. to allow, as is known, the summation of heat m further and use in the industries such as power supply to steam turbines and power plants. 8a For this purpose, the collector tubes 29 could> transfer heat or energy absorbing medium, such as heat-absorbing oil. The manifold pipes 29 and the corresponding hubs 27 may be interconnected by, for example, a knee and the medium transferred 29 can be heated to produce steam. Alternatively, the medium transported by the collector tubes may circulate into the collector tubes. Anathema created about heat exchangers that extract heat from son-in-law * kicked *

Compensation of minor errors in the setting of the concentrating mirrors 28 is effected by an arched reflector 31 located above the * & * pore tube 29 and shaped so that a non-reflecting optical concentrator operates.

In order to improve the accumulation of thickness from the elements of the frame structure 30 and from other components of the structure, which could obstruct the path of the radiated energy that would otherwise fall directly on the concentrating mirrors 23, such components may be attached or may be part of of these, reflected by mirrors or reflecting surfaces 32, the surfaces 32 are placed substantially 90 degrees relative to the focal line of the mirrors 23 to direct the radiated energy from the sun to the mirrors 28, which are then kusira on manifold 29 ta№ reflector 31, as indicated by an insole of Figure 6.

The platform 13, in its recommended flaw, is constructed of flexible floating material such as a lightweight, thin, foam material. In this way, when floating, the platform 13 will maintain a flat plane position due to its mobility and adjusted to the flat surface of the fluid on which it floats. • Concentrating mirrors 28 will then retain proper focusing or rousing substantially with respect to the associated collector tubes 29. Each the motion of the platform caused by waves, leads to the corresponding movement of the collector pipes 29, with which they remain or are essentially in the focus of the related starvation 29 · The use of light in easily adjustable The floating material for platform 13 significantly reduces the cost of the system, as it retains the ammunition of the mirrors with their collectors.

As you said above, in order to cause the platform to rotate, you must actuate one or more rollers on the motor

20. For this purpose, one loop 20 may be coupled to a belt 33 »which in this case drives a roll 34 from a servomotor or other actuator 35. The actuation of the servomotor is controlled by a tracking device 36 of a known type, such as a device that uses phototransistors or other photosensitive elements and shading elements that create a shadow on the photosensitives according to their position relative to the sun. Of course, many other different meshes can be used to control and move the platform 13 depending on the movement of the sun, such as weather-sensing systems ·

In operation, when the sun rises to the east, the tracking device 36 u causes the floating platform 13 to rotate to a position where the longitudinal axes of the hubs 27 are directed toward the solar geographical meridian at the horizon, movement is effected by the servomotor or other actuating device 35 driving washer 34, belt 33, and wheel 20 * · By this time, the longitudinal axes of the concentrators 27 are established in vertical planes that intersect the sun. · When the sun describes an arc in the sky, its position in the geographical the meridian at the horizon will be monitored by its condensers, together with the floating in the liquid 14 of the platform 13 carrying the concentrators 27, which rotates from its propulsion system so that the longitudinal axes of the concentrators remain coherent with the sun. all the time since the sun has risen, the storage device is exposed to maximum radiant energy. 12 -

from the sun and therefore the accumulated energy is maximum · The use of a floating platform 13 makes it easy and convenient to jiggle the device 10 to obtain and enter the setting of concentrators 27 against the sun »

If there is a danger of hail or other destructive atmospheric phenomena, the pump 22 is pumping in and pumping water from the maximum full container 11 into the storage basin, damaging the platform 13 to a lower level. »The base of the cylinder or rim 16 will then rest on the platform. of the container 19 of the container 11, which has a large clogging effect. Then, under the entire platform, a slight decrease in pressure is made and at the same time water is passed through the pipe 24 to the upper surface of the platform 13. The reduced pressure under the platform 1 13 is maintained large enough to prevent the platform from floating above the water pumped through 24 so that the water covers the platform 13 and the curved sun concentrators 27 to protect them from damage ·

Alternatively, instead of relying on the reduced pressure below the platform 13 to keep it submerged, mechsher tools could be used for this purpose, after immersion of the platform to keep the sunlight concentrators 27 under water and reflective surfaces or mirrors 28 kontsentratorit © 27 to prick protected could be fed into retaining pins or elements mounted to the outer wall 12 of the container 11 «to re-emergence of fabric · form 13 OE downloaded ¹ / pins or elements. Alternatively, the platform may be equipped with one or more chambers or tanks, which may be filled with water to submerge the platform or filled with air to allow the platform to float.

the body is soft to thrust back into the container 11 by extending the branch through a tube 26 into the channel 25. Since the platform 13 has a degree of elasticity, the water flowing through the channel 25 centrally below the platform 13 will raise the central portion of the platform lying with this will provide efficient and delicate water purification when required to re-energize the 17 m sun.

Figures 7 and 8 show a floating support system for the platform ⁴⁹ mat 13 when the latter is mounted on large masses of water, such as on a lake, bay, slit or the like, the platform 13 includes as a series of row-to-party hubs 27, only one of which is visible in full. In this embodiment, the platform 13 is provided around its periphery with an upwardly extending crown 37 that terminates at the upper dream end of the floating element 33, or alternatively with a series of floating elements 38. In the shown embodiment, the element 38 is annular and may comprise foam material which extends C completely around the crown 37. Furthermore, floating elements 39 may be coupled to any parabolic concentrate 27 and arranged at a central, normally shaded area of concentrators

27. Preferably, the elements 39 are mounted on the zeode.40 so that they are not spaced from the concentrate mirrors 23. The elements 39 are preferably composed of pieces of foamed material of elongated shape and the stems 40 firmly holding * the elements 39. alternatively, the stems 40 may consist of short pieces of wire or other flexible attachment.

When submersible on platform 13 as shown in figure 8 under adverse atmospheric conditions, it is desired to pump the tank top and surface by means of suitable means, such as a conventional pump, if alternative, platform 13 may to supply one or more delivery and drainage units 41 as shown in Figure 3. Does the unit contain an opening 42 through a platform 13 with a annular ring? 43 which imparts to the underside of the platform 13. a yarre in the cylinder 43 and immersed in the fluid extending into the cylinder 43 there is a propeller 44 coupled to a drive motor 45 secured to any suitable one's ksio, for example by a support subassembly 46 on the upper side of the fabric · Shape 13. When the motor is actuated in the first direction, it will force water from the underside of the platform 13 to the upper and side through the cylinder 43 and the opening 42. When it is desired to drain the platform 13, the motor 45 is driven in the opposite direction , which rotates the propeller 44 in bro direction and remove the pump through the opening 42.

The defect imposed on the platform 13 will be retained on the platform 37 so that the platform will begin to sink. If »the walls of the platform 13 begin to sink first, they will be retained by a floating» crystalline ejaculate 38.

Turning now to Figure 9, there is an alternative depicted.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention with the above-mentioned Akademic foundation, in which many of the individual reflector mirrors are avoided and the solar energy storage system located above them is the mounting elements · These elements are shown in Figure 10, which depicts the floating foundation 52, in which the grooves or panels 53 are shaped but a different angle and flat stripes of mirrors are attached to the ledge. ”· These mirrors 54 and their adjacent grooves establish a straw such that they concentrate the rays of radiated energy / usually sunlight / 55 on the solar energy tube 56. In addition, if the setting of the mirrors 54 is lightly informed, the sun's rays Sh will fall on the reflector screen 57k back onto the solar energy tube 56.

The solar thermal tube 56 and the reflector screen 57 are mounted on a suitable frame structure 58, which * is in turn mounted incorrectly on the foundation 52. Alternatively, the frame structures 58 may be indirectly mounted on the foundation, such as by mounting a frame construct 58 to the floating units 59, the lands being mounted directly to the fouomeit 52.

In normal operation, the foundation 52 will float in a reservoir about the relative water level indicated by the designation number 61 «/ Of course, the reservoir could be any suitable mass® of water, whether it is an artificial pool, a natural bay, an eotozer or a dam /

If the atmospheric conditions indicate that the mirrors 54 must be protected from possible hail damage, then water from the tank shall be irrigated by means of suitable means on the upper surface of the floating base 52.

Located within the limits of the base 02 and connected to the crimping through the tool b £ qx6q * m 7Q, propellers 65 are mounted and on the lifting axis 67 actuated by a suitable motor, which in turn is mounted appropriately, as evidenced by sodsoa ib, to the platform 52 / shout figures 12 m 13 / · The upper propeller 05 and the lower propellers 66 preferably have a reverse sloping slope © cm for purpose, as described below · the openings 70 are located at the base of the feed 52 weighing to allow the flow of water from the bottom barrel of the foundation 52 to pass on the base 52 and vice versa · 3, the recommended embodiment shown in Figure 12, the oscillating base 52 is flush with seam material enough to support the device with the mirrors 54 at the water level. Therefore, the openings 70 can be pricked open as shown.

If, alternatively, the foundation 52 is required to have greater floatability to maintain the mirrors 54 above the water level or normal operation, the foundation 52 sews to form a boat-like outer closure volume that will displace sufficient fluid so that that the water level surrounding the foundation does not exceed the top of the crown (and thus the mirrors 54 will not be bodily covered with faywad, although they may be located at a lower level than the level of the foundation around). In this alternative embodiment, the openings should preferably be closed during normal operation. This could be done by introducing properly operated valves to open or close the openings according to the required operating conditions.

Also to include additional pipe laying or cover 71 to assist the directional flow of water, the pipeline 71 is disposed between the propellers 65 and 66. "Another pipeline system 72 is recommended near one or more non-niode propellers 66, which pipeline system 72 is suitably mounted so as to direct the vertical flow of the stream through the propeller 66 into a horizontal stream, thereby allowing the movement of the foundation 52 to be controlled. The control can thus be accomplished by introducing a single pipeline ystem 72, which can be directed izbiratelyu or Apvra opportunity can be achieved by providing the system with multiple blades 66 vokyb different directed #, where traffic will be managed by zadeistvuvane only selected blades ·

It is understood, however, that external actuation of the foundation 52 may be provided, which would be within the scope of at least one aspect of the invention. LapriAyur if ^. ^ Dement 52 was located in a pool, • · • · · · · ·

- is · where it can be safely located near the side of the pool, movement of the base 52 to follow the movement of the sun can be accomplished by appropriate propulsion in the pool side, which stains the foundation, as shown above. an exemplary embodiment of Figures 2 and 3.

Working with the above described recommended fitting of y®, the triple is as follows.

нормаο'α normal stripes, when the mirrors 54 are exposed to the ceton reservoir, the relative water level between the base 52 and any floating foundation should be indicated by a nozzle number 61. The orientation of the base 52 is softly controlled according to the position through the pipeline 72> as previously described.

If the atmospheric conditions indicate the possibility of damage to the mirrors 54 due to, for example, hail * then the motors 68 are actuated to pump water from the tank through the opening 70 onto the upper surface of the foundation 52.

The tendency is, of course, to concentrate the water in elec- tric sections so that the base 52 is immersed to a greater extent at the place * of the openings 70 together with the mirrors 54. cc at higher stretches, which took more sleep exposed to the hazardous weather * However, the design of the floats fades in such a way that they are generally aa contracted with a smaller cross section at the base to a larger cross-section. This tapered configuration causes water to be concentrated on each section of the upper surface of the foundation and provides a uniform depth of the protective water layer. On all mirrors 54. Thus, the mirrors 54 will be fully protected by water *, as indicated. in figure 10 with the designation 1U - ...... .........

62. Indeed, the tapered configuration of floating units 59, 60 provides a thick and uniform thickness of water maintained throughout the pouring process. / In addition, the uniform pouring of water over the upper surface of the foundation 52 is aided by openings 63 cut at the base of the floating blocks 59, 60, which openings 63 allow the pumped water on the foot 52 to circulate over the entire foundation 52 / ·

Cw, however, it should be borne in mind that floating units 59, 60 could alternatively provide the desired graded lifting power by stepping instead of gradually narrowing or narrowing on one side only, but this configuration is extremely advisable. , the horizontal cross-section of the floating blocks shall be the same for all blocks at any distance from the base 62.

During the risk period for the mirrors 54, the motor 68 must be kept operable at a sufficient speed at which the upper propellers 65 bulls maintain the level 62 of the protective layer of water on the mirrors 54.

After passing the risky situation for the mirrors 54, the motor 68 can be shut off »due to the natural lifting force of the base 52, shutting down the propeller 65 will allow backflow through the openings 70 so that the foundation will eventually drain as the mirrors 54 open and become again capable of reflecting solar energy into the collector tube 56. In addition, in the recommended embodiment, the attachment of the individual sections forming the foundation 52 / as indicated by 64 / could result in water passing through them / despite tekove obvious omission zc OE reduced sufficiently by the action of cores 65 that OE able to maintain the water at a desired 62 in ·· ···· ·· · · ·

In order to accelerate the process of floating, the motor 68 may be reversed and cause the propeller 65 to direct downward flow of water through the opening 70. Such an operation could also be used. to the previously described alternative embodiments of the invention (there the cheddar base has a float configuration) in which the 65w propeller performs the function of a cleaning pump to remove defects from the foundation. During the operation of the propellers 65, the rising flow of water through the openings 70 tends to locally flood the foundation in an area close to the openings 70 and the propellers 65.
