Abstract
In a process for generating electricity from solar power, a boiler is positioned at the focus of a solar collector, fed with liquid and generating vapour. This vapour is then passed through a turbine in a Rankine cycle to provide mechanical power.
Description
~isclos~are This invention relates to the process of extracting ~necl~anical povuer from a solar collector.
It is common practice to generate heat through the use of collector panels to heat water. These panels are not e~cient, as there is no provision to magnify the solar power striking them, and are therefore incapable of collecting srxfficient heat to boil water. In cold climates, the l2eat is radiated almost as Quickly as it is gathered, rendering them nearly useless.
I have found that these disadvantages can be overcome through the use of a paraboloid reflector, concentrating the solar energy striking the bopiler, raising the temperature of the contained water for other liquid) past the bailing point, where it becomes steam, and expands.
This expanding gas can be used to drive a turbine. The turbine converts the energy of the expanding gas into mechanical work.
Description tn a drawing which illustrates the embodiment of the invention, a parabolic or paraboloid solar reflector (t), mounted on a rotating base (2.j to follow the path of the sun, has at its' foci a boiler (3), fed with liquid (~), wh.lch the boner cocwerts to steam (~).
This steaan is then introduced (6) to a turbine (7) through which it expands;
and from r~hich enertry is extracted in the form of mechanical power. The exhaust (8) is sahirated steam, from which farther erierg~r rt~a~ he extracted in the forrrt of heat, for home heating or ark outer purpose.
