Abstract

Appts. for collecting solar energy incorporates optical fibres which receive a concn. of solar radiation and transmit it to a metal block which diffuses it. One end of the optical fibres is outside an insulated enclosure and placed at the focal point of a concentrating element e.g. a magnifying glass. The other end is in contact with a finned block of copper or titanium surrounded by a heat transfer fluid fed to and discharged from the enclosure. Loss of heat reflection and poor conductivity are avoided. The appts. gives instantly a high rate of heating.
