Abstract

The collector according to the invention is for the recovery of solar energy in the lower to middle temperature range. It can preferably be used for hot water preparation and for house heating. The usual flat collectors for this use range have large heat losses because of their large-surfaced absorbers. Trough-shaped mirror collectors described in the literature indeed reduce the heat losses in proportion to the heat radiating in, but are expensive because of their costly shaping and do not generally offer sufficient space for an additional vacuum insulation (Fig. 1). In the mirror collector according to the invention, the shaping is simplified, in contrast to the known systems, by flattening of the trough shape, and additional space is provided for adding a vacuum insulation (Fig. 2). With a concentration ratio according to the invention smaller than 2, this collector offers excellent acceptance of direct solar radiation. Considerable acceptance for diffuse radiation is also achieved. Radiation measurements and heating simulation computations have shown that with the mirror collectors according to the invention, solar houses can be built in Central Europe which are fully self-sufficient in heating and are also affordable. <IMAGE>

Description

Einfacher trogfoermiger Spiegelkollektor.Simple trough-shaped mirror collector.

Zur Reduzierung von Waermeverlusten bei Solarkollektoren werden in Literatur und anderen Patentschriften trogfoermige Spiegelkollektoren aehnlich Abb.l vorgeschlagen.bas Konzentrationsverhaeltnis wird relativ klein gewaehlt und die Absorberachse im albgemeinen waagerecht gelegt, sodass auf eine Nachfuehrung des Spiegels gemaess dem Sonnenstand ganz oder teilweise verzichtet werden kann. Zur Nutzung der flach entlang der Spiegelflanken einfallenden Strahlungsenergie wird unter dem Absorber eine Wulst angeordnet. Der Absorber wird in vielgestalti£er Form gezeigt.To reduce heat losses in solar collectors, in Literature and other patents trough-shaped mirror collectors similar to Fig.l suggested.based concentration ratio is chosen to be relatively small and the Absorber axis laid horizontally in the albgemeine, so that a tracking of the Depending on the position of the sun, the mirror can be completely or partially dispensed with. To the Use of the radiant energy incident flat along the mirror flanks a bead arranged under the absorber. The absorber comes in many forms shown.

Teilweise wird er zur Verringerung der konvektiven Waermeverluste mit einem Glasrohr umgeben in dem zur weiteren Verringerung der Konvektion ein Vakuum vorgeschlagen wird. Das Vakuum wird jedoch nur bei ausreichendem Abstand des Blasrohres vom Absorber wirksam ist daher bei dieser Spiegelform nur bei extrem grossen Kollektoren sinnvoll. Andere Literaturstellen schlagen deshalb anstelle der Wulst eine grabenfoermige Vertiefung unter dem Absorber vor, mit aehnlichen optischen Eigenschaften wie die Wulst, und schaffen so Platz fuer einen ausreichend breiten evakuierten Raum. Beide Loesungen haben den Nachteil. dass die Spiegelform kompliziert und seine Herstellung schwierig und materialaufwendig ist.In part, it is used to reduce convective heat losses surrounded by a glass tube in which to further reduce convection a vacuum is suggested. However, the vacuum is only achieved if the blowpipe is sufficiently distant from the absorber is therefore effective with this mirror shape only with extremely large collectors sensible. Other references therefore propose a trench-shaped one instead of the bead Indentation under the absorber in front, with similar optical properties as the Bulge, creating space for a sufficiently wide evacuated room. Both Solutions have the disadvantage. that the mirror shape is complicated and its manufacture is difficult and requires a lot of material.

Erfindungsgemaess wird die Formgebung daher durch Abflachen der Trogmulde vereinfacht (Abb.2). Bei dieser Form des Spiegels werden weder Wuelste noch Graeben erforderlich. Die Spiegeloberflaeche ist im Verhaeltnis zur Oeffnungsbrei klein und erfordert deshalb wenig Materialaufwand. Die Herstellung ist durch einfaches verspannen eines geraden Bleches ohne aufwendige Technologie leicht realisierbar. Technisch interessante Dicken des Vakuumringspaltes ergeben sich bei der erfindungsgemaessen Form ca. oberhalb 400 mm Trogbreite. Der Absorberdurchmesser liegt dabei oberhalb 70 mm.According to the invention, the shape is therefore made by flattening the trough trough simplified (Fig.2). With this form of the mirror there are neither ridges nor ridges necessary. The mirror surface is small in relation to the opening pulp and therefore requires little material expenditure. The manufacture is by simple Clamping a straight sheet is easy to implement without complex technology. Technically interesting thicknesses of the vacuum ring gap result from the one according to the invention Shape approx. Above 400 mm trough width. The absorber diameter is above 70 mm.

Zum verlustarmen Betrieb dieser relativ grossvolumigen Absorber wird erfindungsgemaess bei laengerem Ausbleiben der Sonnenstrahlung (z.B.nachts) die Absorberfluessigkeit in einen Speicher (z.B.den Hauptwaermespeicher) abgelassen. zu uf diese Weise entfallen Frostschutzmassmahmen und der Kollektor kann z.B. ohne Zwischenschalten von Waermetauschern direkt mit Wasser des Waermespeichers betrieben werden.This relatively large-volume absorber is used for low-loss operation according to the invention in the case of prolonged absence of solar radiation (e.g. at night) the The absorber fluid is drained into a storage facility (e.g. the main thermal storage facility). to be omitted in this way Frost protection measures and the collector can, for example, directly with water from the heat storage tank without the interposition of heat exchangers operate.

Der erfindungsgemaesse Kollektor ist besonders fuer eine ganzjaehrige solare Vollheizung mit besonders hohem Waermebedarf im Winter geeignet. Aus diesem Grunde empfielt es sich die Spiegelachse entsprechenct den niedrigen Sonnenstaenden im Winter mit einem flachen Neigungswinkel (ß) anzuordnen. Bei dem hohen Waermeangebot im Sommer kann hierbei im allgemeinen auf eine optimale Arbeitsweise des Kollektors verzichtet werden. Zur Vermeidung der Bildung einer Schneedecke im Winter soll die Glasabdeckung in einem steilen Winkel (y) angeordnet werden. LeerseiteThe collector according to the invention is particularly suitable for a year-round solar full heating with particularly high heat demand in winter suitable. For this Basically, it is recommended that the mirror axis correspond to the low sun positions to be arranged with a flat angle of inclination (ß) in winter. With the high supply of heat In the summer, this can generally mean that the collector works optimally be waived. To avoid the formation of a blanket of snow in winter, the Glass cover can be placed at a steep angle (y). Blank page
