Abstract

An arrangement for thermally coupling a solar energy collector (12), including a heat pipe (5), to a part of a heat-extraction system (3, 4) consists of a first metal bearing member (6) provided with a male bearing surface and a second metal bearing member (2) provided with a corresponding female bearing surface adapted to receive the first member to form a rotatable coupling having at least one degree of freedom. The bearing surfaces may be spherical or part spherical, cylindrical or part cylindrical, or frusto-conical or part frusto-conical, and may be urged against each other by spring means (10). <IMAGE>
