Description

本発明は海水を加熱し、蒸発させて真水を得る海水淡水化装置において、海水を加熱するための熱媒体を太陽光の反射を利用して高温に加熱する熱媒体加熱装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a heat medium heating apparatus for heating seawater to a high temperature using reflection of sunlight in a seawater desalination apparatus for heating seawater and evaporating it to obtain fresh water.

海水を加熱したときに発生する水蒸気の液化により真水を得る海水淡水化装置において、海水を加熱するための熱媒体を加熱する目的で太陽光の反射光を利用する方法がある(特許文献1参照)。この方法では箱体の底面に折り返されながら敷設された集熱管内に熱媒体を通過させ、箱体の上方に形成された開口から太陽光の反射光を集熱管に照射させることにより集熱管内の熱媒体を加熱することが行われる(段落0027、図8)。   In a seawater desalination apparatus that obtains fresh water by liquefying water vapor generated when seawater is heated, there is a method using reflected light of sunlight for the purpose of heating a heat medium for heating seawater (see Patent Document 1) ). In this method, the heat medium is passed through the heat collection pipe laid while being folded back to the bottom of the box, and the reflected heat of sunlight is irradiated to the heat collection pipe from the opening formed above the box. Heating the heat transfer medium (paragraph 0027, FIG. 8).

太陽光の反射光を利用して海水を淡水化させる方法には他に、海水を貯留させたタンク内に熱伝導性の高い材料で製作された芯棒を配置し、この芯棒に反射光を照射させる方法もある(特許文献2参照)。この方法では反射光を利用して芯棒を加熱することで、タンク内の温度を上昇させ、タンク内の海水の蒸発が促される(段落0066)。   In addition to the method of desalination of seawater using the reflected light of sunlight, a core rod made of a material with high thermal conductivity is disposed in a tank storing seawater, and the reflected light is placed on this core rod There is also a method of irradiating light (see Patent Document 2). In this method, the core rod is heated using reflected light to raise the temperature in the tank and promote evaporation of the seawater in the tank (paragraph 0066).

特開2013−155993号公報(段落0025〜0031、図1〜図8)JP, 2013-155993, A (paragraphs 0025-0031, FIGS. 1-8) 特開2008−86907号公報(段落0054〜0100、図1〜図7)JP 2008-86907 A (paragraphs 0054 to 0100, FIGS. 1 to 7)

しかしながら、特許文献1では太陽光の反射光が集熱管にではなく、開口の位置で焦点を結ぶように反射鏡(集光鏡)を設置しているため(段落0025、図8)、反射光による熱媒体の加熱効果を効率的に利用しているとは言えない。   However, in Patent Document 1, the reflection mirror (condensing mirror) is installed so that the reflected light of sunlight is not focused on the heat collection tube but at the position of the opening (paragraph 0025, FIG. 8), the reflected light It can not be said that the heating effect of the heat medium due to

特許文献2では反射光を直接、海水の温度上昇に利用する訳ではなく、タンクの反射光側を透明にした上で、反射光を芯棒に照射させ(段落0070)、芯棒の温度を上昇させることで、タンクの温度を上昇させる結果として海水温度を上昇させるため(段落0066)、反射光による加熱効果が十分に発揮されるとは言い難い。   In patent document 2, reflected light is not necessarily used for the temperature rise of seawater, After making the reflected light side of a tank transparent, reflected light is irradiated to a core rod (paragraph 0070), and the temperature of a core rod is Since the temperature of seawater is raised as a result of raising the temperature of the tank by raising the temperature (paragraph 0066), it can not be said that the heating effect by the reflected light is sufficiently exhibited.

本発明は上記背景より、反射光による海水の加熱効果をより効率的に発揮させることを可能にする海水淡水化装置における熱媒体加熱装置を提案するものである。   From the above background, the present invention proposes a heat medium heating apparatus in a seawater desalination apparatus which can more efficiently exhibit the heating effect of seawater by reflected light.

The heat medium heating device in the seawater desalination apparatus of the invention according to claim 1 comprises a seawater heating device for heating seawater, a steam generation device for evaporating seawater heated by the seawater heating device, and generating steam. Thermal water that heats a heat medium for heating seawater prior to the treatment with the seawater heating device in a seawater desalination device provided with a fresh water generating device that cools steam generated by this steam generating device and generates fresh water Medium heating device,
A flow passage through which the heat medium passes, a holding member holding the flow passage at at least two places spaced in the axial direction, and the holding members opposed at a distance are bridged, and on the flow passage side A hollow tube having a concave mirror or a reflective mirror formed or attached thereto, and a support member rotatably supporting the holding member and the hollow tube around an axial direction of the flow path,
The heat medium which has passed through the flow path and is heated is sent to the seawater heating apparatus, used for heating the seawater, and then recovered to the heat medium heating apparatus and sent to the flow path,
The reflecting mirror has a concave surface having a plurality of focal points or a polyhedral surface close to the concave surface, and the flow path has a thickness that can receive reflected light toward the plurality of focal points at any portion. To be a configuration requirement.

支持部材15、15は中空管13を支持する柱としての役目を持ち、図1等に示すように熱媒体2の流路11内の通過中に流路11への反射光の照射による加熱効果が発揮されることを見込んだ距離を置いて地上、あるいは海水淡水化装置7が格納される施設上等に設置される。この両支持部材15、15に、中空管13の軸方向両端部に位置する保持部材12、12が中空管13の軸の回りに回転自在に支持(軸支)される。保持部材12は中空管13の一部になる。   The supporting members 15, 15 have a role as a pillar for supporting the hollow tube 13. As shown in FIG. 1 etc., the heating medium 2 is heated by the irradiation of the reflected light to the flow path 11 during the passage in the flow path 11. It is installed on the ground or on a facility where the seawater desalination apparatus 7 is stored at a distance in anticipation that the effect will be exerted. Holding members 12, 12 located at both axial ends of the hollow tube 13 are rotatably supported (axially supported) around the axis of the hollow tube 13 by the both supporting members 15, 15. The holding member 12 becomes a part of the hollow tube 13.

保持部材12自体は手動で、または緯度と季節等に応じ、特定の熱媒体加熱装置1用に予め設定された制御指令に従い、自動的に中空管13の軸(断面上の中心)の回りに回転自在な状態にあり、太陽の高さ(角度)の変化に応じて中空管13の軸回りに回転させられる。保持部材12は中空管13の一部であるため、保持部材12の回転により反射鏡14が貼られた中空管13が軸回りに回転する。   The holding member 12 itself is automatically turned around the axis (center on the cross section) of the hollow tube 13 manually or according to control instructions preset for a specific heating medium heating device 1 according to latitude and season etc. And is rotatable about the axis of the hollow tube 13 in accordance with changes in the height (angle) of the sun. Since the holding member 12 is a part of the hollow tube 13, the hollow tube 13 to which the reflecting mirror 14 is attached is rotated about the axis by the rotation of the holding member 12.

具体的には例えば図1等に示すように水平軸回りの回転運動を保持部材12の軸回りの回転運動に変換する歯車、ベルト等の動力伝達装置121が保持部材12に噛合する等、接続され、動力伝達装置121にはモータ等の駆動装置122により回転力が発生させられることにより保持部材12が中空管13と共に回転する。「動力伝達装置121が保持部材12に噛合する」とは、動力伝達装置121としての歯車が保持部材12の外周に形成された歯車12aに噛み合うことを言う。   Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 etc., the power transmission device 121 such as a gear, belt or the like that converts rotational movement about the horizontal axis into rotational movement about the axis of the holding member 12 meshes with the holding member 12. The holding member 12 is rotated together with the hollow tube 13 by generating a rotational force in the power transmission device 121 by the driving device 122 such as a motor. “The power transmission device 121 meshes with the holding member 12” means that the gear as the power transmission device 121 meshes with the gear 12 a formed on the outer periphery of the holding member 12.

中空管13の軸に関して片側の内周面には、中空管13の軸(中心)側へ凹曲面をなす反射鏡14が形成されるか、貼り付けられ、反射鏡14で反射した太陽光の反射光は凹曲面の焦点位置に集光する。反射光の集光の結果、この焦点位置、またはその付近に流路11が配置されていることで、反射光が流路11を加熱し、熱媒体2を加熱することができる。反射鏡14は太陽光を反射させることから、中空管13には中空管13の軸(中心)に関して太陽光の反対側に配置される。   On the inner peripheral surface of one side with respect to the axis of the hollow tube 13, the reflecting mirror 14 having a concave surface is formed or affixed to the axis (center) side of the hollow tube 13, and the sun reflected by the reflecting mirror 14 The reflected light of light is condensed at the focal position of the concave surface. As a result of condensing the reflected light, the flow path 11 is disposed at or near this focal position, so that the reflected light can heat the flow path 11 and heat the heat medium 2. Since the reflecting mirror 14 reflects sunlight, the hollow tube 13 is disposed on the opposite side of the sunlight with respect to the axis (center) of the hollow tube 13.

「中空管13に反射鏡14が形成される」とは、中空管13の内周面に真空メッキ製法(真空蒸着法)等により直接、形成されること、あるいは鏡面となるアルミニウム等の蒸着材料が付着させられること等を言う。「中空管13に反射鏡14が貼り付けられる」とは、凹面鏡である既製品の反射鏡14が中空管13の内周面に接着、接合その他の方法で固定される、または固定状態に保持されること等を言う。   “The reflector 14 is formed on the hollow tube 13” means that the reflector 14 is formed directly on the inner peripheral surface of the hollow tube 13 by a vacuum plating method (vacuum deposition method) or the like, or aluminum etc. It says that deposition material is made to adhere. The phrase "the reflecting mirror 14 is attached to the hollow tube 13" means that a ready-made reflecting mirror 14 which is a concave mirror is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the hollow tube 13 by bonding, bonding or other method, or fixed Say to be held by.

反射鏡14が例えば図7に示す放物面や円弧面(円筒面)等の連続した凹曲面、あるいは曲率が連続的に変化する凹曲面をなす場合、反射鏡14の焦点は中空管13の断面上、一点であることが多いため、流路11の中心が反射鏡14の焦点の位置に合致していることが合理的である。但し、流路11は高さと幅、すなわち太さ(断面積)を持つため、必ずしも流路11の中心が反射鏡14の焦点に合致していなくても流路11は反射鏡14からの反射光を受けることはできる。   When the reflecting mirror 14 has a continuous concave surface such as a paraboloid surface or an arc surface (cylindrical surface) shown in FIG. 7 or a concave surface having a continuously changing curvature, the focal point of the reflecting mirror 14 is the hollow tube 13 It is reasonable that the center of the flow path 11 coincides with the position of the focal point of the reflecting mirror 14 because it is often one point on the cross section of the. However, since the flow path 11 has a height and a width, that is, a thickness (cross-sectional area), the flow path 11 reflects from the reflection mirror 14 even if the center of the flow path 11 does not necessarily coincide with the focal point of the reflection mirror 14 It can receive light.

一方、反射鏡14が受ける太陽光を一点の焦点に集中させる上では凹曲面は放物面が適切であるが、流路11は幅と高さを持つことで、複数の焦点に向かう反射光をいずれかの部分で受けることもできるため、凹曲面は必ずしも放物面である必要はなく、円筒面、またはこれらの曲面に近い多面体面等でも流路11に対する加熱効果は発揮される。只、太陽光が水平面に対して角度(仰角)をなして反射鏡14に差し込むとき、反射鏡14に反射する反射光は反射した位置における焦点に向かうため、中空管13を軸方向に見たときの断面上、流路11は反射鏡14の焦点を含む領域、あるいは反射鏡14の範囲内で反射した反射光が向かう領域に配置されていることが適切である。   On the other hand, in order to concentrate the sunlight received by the reflecting mirror 14 on one focal point, the concave surface is suitably a paraboloid, but the flow path 11 has a width and a height so that reflected light directed to a plurality of focal points The concave surface is not necessarily required to be a paraboloid, and the heating effect on the flow channel 11 is exerted even on a cylindrical surface or a polyhedral surface close to the curved surface. When sunlight is inserted into the reflecting mirror 14 at an angle (elevation angle) with respect to the horizontal plane, the reflected light reflected by the reflecting mirror 14 is directed to the focal point at the reflected position, so the hollow tube 13 is viewed axially It is appropriate that the flow path 11 is disposed in the area including the focal point of the reflecting mirror 14 or in the area to which the reflected light reflected in the range of the reflecting mirror 14 is directed, in the cross section of the case.

なお、反射鏡14がなす凹曲面が例えば放物面や円弧面の場合、反射鏡14の焦点は中空管13の中心より反射鏡14寄りに位置するため、流路11の少なくとも軸線方向両側の、保持部材12、12への保持部分以外の、実質的に反射光を受ける区間は図7に示すように中空管13の軸線より反射鏡14寄りに配置されていることが適切である。   When the concave surface formed by the reflecting mirror 14 is, for example, a paraboloid or a circular arc, the focal point of the reflecting mirror 14 is located closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the center of the hollow tube 13. It is appropriate that the section receiving substantially reflected light other than the holding portion to the holding members 12, 12 is disposed closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the axis of the hollow tube 13 as shown in FIG. .

流路11は保持部材12の中心回りの回転に伴う中空管13の軸回りの回転に追従して回転するため、流路11の少なくとも軸方向両端部分は図1に示すように中空管13の軸線上、すなわち保持部材12、12の中心上に配置されていることが合理的である。保持部材12、12間に位置する流路11の軸方向両端部分においても流路11の軸線が中空管13(保持部材12)の中心から外れた位置にあれば、中空管13の軸回りの回転時に流路11全体が保持部材12の中心の回りに円弧を描いて回転することになり、流路11の軸方向両端部分を支持部材15、15に固定位置で保持することができなくなり、流路11と保持部材12、12を支持部材15、15に回転自在に支持させることが難しくなるからである。   Since the flow path 11 rotates following the rotation of the hollow tube 13 about the axis of the holding member 12 as it rotates around the center of the holding member 12, at least both axial end portions of the flow path 11 are hollow tubes as shown in FIG. It is rational to be arranged on the 13 axes, ie on the center of the holding members 12. If the axial line of the flow passage 11 is out of the center of the hollow tube 13 (the holding member 12) at both axial direction end portions of the flow passage 11 located between the holding members 12, 12, the shaft of the hollow tube 13 When rotating around, the whole of the flow path 11 rotates in a circular arc around the center of the holding member 12 and both axial end portions of the flow path 11 can be held at the fixed positions on the support members 15, 15 This is because it becomes difficult to rotatably support the flow path 11 and the holding members 12, 12 on the support members 15, 15.

この関係で、図7に示す例では流路11の少なくとも軸線方向両側の、保持部材12、12への保持部分以外の区間が中空管13の中心より反射鏡14寄りに位置するように、流路11は図1に示すように軸方向両端部寄りの部分において屈曲、もしくは湾曲させられる。流路11は例えば流路11の、軸線方向両側以外の区間の軸線が水平に維持された状態で、中空管13の軸方向両側に位置する保持部材12、12に保持される。   In this relationship, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the sections other than the holding portions to the holding members 12 at least on both sides in the axial direction of the flow path 11 are located closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the center of the hollow tube 13 The flow path 11 is bent or curved at portions near both axial end portions as shown in FIG. The channel 11 is held by the holding members 12 and 12 positioned on both sides in the axial direction of the hollow tube 13, for example, with the axis of the section of the channel 11 other than the both sides in the axial direction being horizontally maintained.

熱媒体加熱装置1の流路11には海水を加熱するための熱媒体2が貯留させられるか、供給される。熱媒体2自体は図1に示すように基本的には専用の導管21内を通過させられ、流路11の区間においては導管21が流路11内を挿通し、反射光は流路11を加熱することの結果として導管21を加熱するか、流路11を透過し、導管21を直接、加熱する。   The heat medium 2 for heating the seawater is stored or supplied to the flow path 11 of the heat medium heating device 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the heat medium 2 itself is basically passed through the dedicated conduit 21, and in the section of the flow passage 11, the conduit 21 passes through the flow passage 11, and the reflected light passes through the flow passage 11. As a result of the heating, the conduit 21 is heated or permeated through the flow path 11 to heat the conduit 21 directly.

流路11内に充填されたシリコンオイル等の熱媒体2は加熱されて膨張することによりポンプ等による圧送を要することなく、図8に示すように熱媒体加熱装置1と、海水が供給される海水加熱装置4との間を循環する。但し、加熱され、膨張した熱媒体2に流動が生じるときに、熱媒体加熱装置1から海水加熱装置4へ向かう循環の向きに熱媒体2が流動し、逆流が生じないよう、導管21の少なくとも一部、もしくは導管21がない場合の流路11の少なくとも一部には逆止弁が接続される。   The heating medium 2 such as silicone oil filled in the flow path 11 is heated and expanded without requiring pumping by a pump or the like, and the heating medium heating device 1 and seawater are supplied as shown in FIG. It circulates with the seawater heating device 4. However, when flow occurs in the heated and expanded heat medium 2, the heat medium 2 flows in the direction of circulation from the heat medium heating device 1 to the seawater heating device 4 so that backflow does not occur. A non-return valve is connected to at least a part of the flow path 11 when there is no part or the conduit 21.

熱媒体2は流路11の軸線方向に対向して流路11を保持する保持部材12、12間を通過する間に反射鏡14から太陽光の反射光を照射されることにより加熱され、海水が蒸発、あるいは沸騰する温度を超える一定温度以上に加熱された後に図8に示すように海水加熱装置4へ送られる。反射光による導管21、または流路11と導管21への加熱効率を上げる上では、導管21、または流路11と導管21に熱伝導率の高い金属、例えば銅やアルミニウム等、またはこれらの合金の使用が適する。   The heat medium 2 is heated by being irradiated with the reflected light of sunlight from the reflecting mirror 14 while passing between the holding members 12 and 12 facing each other in the axial direction of the flow path 11 and holding the flow path 11. Is heated to a predetermined temperature or more which exceeds the temperature at which evaporation or boiling occurs, and is sent to the seawater heating device 4 as shown in FIG. In order to increase the heating efficiency to the conduit 21 by reflection light, or the flow passage 11 and the conduit 21, the conduit 21 or the flow passage 11 and the conduit 21 has a metal with high thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, or an alloy thereof Use of is suitable.

汲み上げポンプ等を有する汲み上げ装置3を用いて海から汲み上げられ、貯留タンク31に貯留させられた後に海水加熱装置4に送り込まれた海水は図8に示すように海水加熱装置4内の流通管41内を通過させられる。流通管41内には熱媒体2が通過する複数本の導管21が挿通する。   The seawater pumped from the sea using the pumping device 3 having a pumping pump and the like and stored in the storage tank 31 and then sent to the seawater heating device 4 is the distribution pipe 41 in the seawater heating device 4 as shown in FIG. It is passed through the inside. In the flow pipe 41, a plurality of conduits 21 through which the heat medium 2 passes are inserted.

海水が充填された流通管41内を挿通する導管21内を加熱された熱媒体2が通過することで、導管21の表面から流通管41に放熱され、流通管41内の海水は導管21からの放熱を受け取ることにより加熱される。海水は流通管41内を挿通する導管21から加熱されることにより、または加熱が繰り返されることにより少なくとも蒸発、または沸騰に必要な温度にまで上昇させられる。導管21の全周面からの放熱による海水の加熱効率を上げる上では、流通管41内には複数本の導管21が互いに分離した状態で挿通させられることが効果的である。   The heat medium 2 heated in the conduit 21 passing through the circulation pipe 41 filled with seawater passes through, and the heat is dissipated from the surface of the conduit 21 to the circulation pipe 41, and the seawater in the circulation pipe 41 is discharged from the conduit 21 It is heated by receiving the heat radiation. The seawater is heated by a conduit 21 passing through the flow pipe 41, or is repeatedly heated to be raised to at least a temperature required for evaporation or boiling. In order to increase the heating efficiency of seawater due to heat radiation from the entire circumferential surface of the conduit 21, it is effective that the plurality of conduits 21 are inserted in the flow pipe 41 in a separated state.

海水の沸点は100°Cより高いが、例えば熱媒体2としての、沸点が170°C〜200°C程度のシリコンオイルの温度は導管21等に使用される金属材料との組み合わせにより100°Cを超える、海水の沸点より高い温度(百数十°C)にまで上昇させることが可能である。このことから、反射光により海水を直接、加熱することより、熱媒体2をまず海水の沸点を超える温度にまで加熱し、この加熱した熱媒体2の温度(高温)を利用して海水を加熱することの方が海水を効果的に加熱し、海水の蒸発を、または海水を沸騰させて蒸発を促すことが可能である。   The boiling point of seawater is higher than 100 ° C. For example, the temperature of silicon oil having a boiling point of about 170 ° C. to 200 ° C. as the heat medium 2 is 100 ° C. depending on the combination with the metal material used for the conduit 21 and the like. It is possible to raise to a temperature (one hundred and several tens ° C) higher than the boiling point of seawater. From this, by heating the seawater directly by reflected light, the heating medium 2 is first heated to a temperature exceeding the boiling point of the seawater, and the seawater is heated using the temperature (high temperature) of the heated heating medium 2 It is possible to heat the sea water more effectively, to evaporate the sea water, or to boil the sea water to promote the evaporation.

熱媒体2が保持部材12、12間の流路11を通過する間に、海水加熱装置4での海水の加熱のための十分な温度に到達しない場合には、熱媒体2は図6に示すように保持部材12、12間の流路11を1回(1往復)以上、循環させられる。この場合、導管21が流路11の区間を1回以上、循環し、反射鏡14からの反射光を2回以上、照射されることで、熱媒体2を目標とされる温度にまで容易に上昇させることが可能になる。   When the heat medium 2 does not reach a temperature sufficient for heating seawater in the seawater heating device 4 while passing through the flow path 11 between the holding members 12, the heat medium 2 is shown in FIG. As described above, the flow path 11 between the holding members 12 and 12 is circulated once (one reciprocation) or more. In this case, the conduit 21 circulates the section of the flow passage 11 one or more times, and the reflected light from the reflecting mirror 14 is irradiated twice or more, so that the temperature of the heat medium 2 can easily reach the target temperature. It is possible to raise it.

保持部材12が一体化した中空管13は前記のように太陽の高さの変化に応じて中空管13の軸回りに回転させられるが、図1に示すように中空管13の軸に関する片側の内周面に反射鏡14が形成等されることで、軸に直交する方向の断面上の重心が反射鏡14寄りに偏る結果、中空管13の軸回りの回転には偏心に抗して回転させるだけのトルク(動力)を要することが想定される。   The hollow tube 13 in which the holding member 12 is integrated is rotated about the axis of the hollow tube 13 according to the change in the height of the sun as described above, but as shown in FIG. Because the center of gravity on the cross section in the direction orthogonal to the axis is biased toward the reflecting mirror 14 by forming the reflecting mirror 14 or the like on the inner peripheral surface of one side related to It is assumed that the torque (power) necessary to rotate the motor is required.

このトルクを発生させるために、駆動装置122に高い能力を持たせることが必要となる場合には、中空管13の質量が中空管13の周方向に分散させられ、中空管13を軸方向に見たときの、保持部材12、12と流路11と反射鏡14を含む中空管13の断面上の重心が流路11の断面内に位置するように調整される。具体的には例えば中空管13を軸方向に見たときの、流路11に関して片側の内周面に反射鏡14が固定され、流路11を挟んだ反対側の内周面に反射鏡14の質量と平衡を保つバランスウェイト131が固定されることにより、中空管13の質量が中空管13の周方向に分散させられる。   If it is necessary to give the drive device 122 high capacity in order to generate this torque, the mass of the hollow tube 13 is dispersed in the circumferential direction of the hollow tube 13 and The center of gravity on the cross section of the hollow tube 13 including the holding members 12 and 12 and the flow path 11 and the reflecting mirror 14 when viewed in the axial direction is adjusted to be located within the cross section of the flow path 11. Specifically, for example, when the hollow tube 13 is viewed in the axial direction, the reflecting mirror 14 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface on one side with respect to the flow channel 11, and the reflecting mirror is fixed to the inner peripheral surface on the opposite side across the flow channel 11. By fixing the balance weight 131 which balances with the mass 14, the mass of the hollow tube 13 is dispersed in the circumferential direction of the hollow tube 13.

この場合、中空管13の断面上の重心が中空管13の軸線上、もしくはその付近に位置することで、中空管13は軸線に対する反射鏡14の位置に関係なく、軸線回りの任意の位置で停止可能になる結果、静止状態にある中空管13を回転させるためと、回転中の中空管13を静止させるために、偏心がある場合のようなトルクを必要としない。この結果、駆動装置122の能力を軽減するか、回転と停止のために要する力を低減することが可能になる。   In this case, since the center of gravity on the cross section of the hollow tube 13 is located at or near the axis of the hollow tube 13, the hollow tube 13 can be arbitrarily selected about the axis regardless of the position of the reflecting mirror 14 with respect to the axis. As a result of being able to stop at the position of t, torque as in the case of eccentricity is not required to rotate the hollow tube 13 in the stationary state and to make the hollow tube 13 in rotation stationary. As a result, it is possible to reduce the capacity of the drive device 122 or to reduce the force required for rotation and stopping.

中空管13の軸に関して反射鏡14の反対側の面は反射鏡14に向かって太陽光が差し込む部分であるため、この軸に関して太陽光の差し込む側には太陽光の入射を遮らないよう、何も配置されないか、または透明な、もしくは透明に近いガラスやアクリル等のプラスチック板等が装着される(嵌め込まれる)。この関係で、前記のバランスウェイト131は基本的には中空管13の軸方向両端部に位置する保持部材12、12に固定(装着)されることが望ましいが、太陽光の入射の障害にならない程度であれば、太陽光の差し込む側に固定されることもある。   Since the opposite surface of the reflecting mirror 14 with respect to the axis of the hollow tube 13 is a portion into which sunlight is directed toward the reflecting mirror 14, in order to block the incidence of sunlight on the side where the sunlight is incident with respect to this axis, Nothing is placed, or a transparent or nearly transparent glass, a plastic plate such as acrylic, etc. is attached (fitted). In this relationship, it is desirable that the balance weight 131 is basically fixed (mounted) to the holding members 12, 12 located at both axial ends of the hollow tube 13, but this is not a hindrance to the incidence of sunlight. If it is not enough, it may be fixed to the side where sunlight is injected.

太陽光の反射光が流路11を加熱する効果は中空管13を平面で見たとき、太陽光が中空管13の軸に直交する方向に入射する状態が高いが、太陽光が中空管13に差し込む方角は時刻毎に変化するため、太陽光の差し込む方向が中空管の軸に直交する方向になるようにする上では、図1に示すように支持部材15が対向する支持部材15、15間の中間位置を中心とする水平面上の円弧状の軌道16上を移動可能な状態にすることが適切である。円弧状の軌道16は必ずしも円状に閉じている必要はない。この場合、対向する支持部材15、15は互いに対向したまま、両支持部材15、15間の中間位置の鉛直軸の回りに正負の向きに手動で、または自動的に回転可能になる。   The effect that the reflected light of the sunlight heats the flow path 11 is that the state in which the sunlight is incident in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the hollow tube 13 is high when the hollow tube 13 is viewed in a plan view. Since the direction in which the solar tube is inserted into the hollow tube 13 changes with each time, the support member 15 is opposed to the support member 15 as shown in FIG. It is appropriate to be able to move on an arc-shaped track 16 on a horizontal plane centered on the intermediate position between the members 15, 15. The arcuate track 16 does not have to be circularly closed. In this case, the opposing support members 15, 15 can be rotated manually or automatically in the positive and negative directions about the vertical axis at the intermediate position between the support members 15, 15 while facing each other.

円弧状の軌道16上を移動することは、具体的には図2に示すように円弧状の軌道16上に載置された車輪15aが軌道16上を転動することにより可能であり、例えば車輪15aに同軸で連結された歯車15cが軌道16に並列するかさ歯車や円弧状に加工されたラックに噛合することにより歯車への回転力の伝達により平面上、いずれの向きにも移動可能になる。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible for the wheel 15a mounted on the arc-shaped track 16 to move on the arc-shaped track 16 by rolling on the track 16, for example, Gears 15c coaxially connected to the wheels 15a mesh with bevel gears geared parallel to the track 16 or racks shaped like arcs so that they can move in any direction on a plane by transmitting rotational force to the gears Become.

熱媒体が通過する流路と、距離を置いて流路を保持する保持部材と、対向する保持部材間に架設され、流路側に凹曲面をなす反射鏡が形成された、もしくは貼られた中空管と、保持部材と中空管を流路の軸線方向の回りに回転自在に支持する支持部材とを備えるため、反射鏡で反射した太陽光の反射光を凹曲面の焦点位置に集光させることができ、焦点位置、またはその付近に流路を配置することで反射光により流路を効果的に加熱し、熱媒体を加熱することができる。   A flow path through which the heat medium passes, a holding member for holding the flow path at a distance, and a reflecting mirror which is provided between the opposing holding members and has a concave surface on the flow path side Since the hollow tube and the supporting member rotatably supporting the holding member and the hollow tube around the axial direction of the flow path, the reflected light of the sunlight reflected by the reflecting mirror is collected at the focal position of the concave surface By arranging the flow path at or near the focal position, the flow path can be effectively heated by the reflected light, and the heat medium can be heated.

図1は図8に示す海水淡水化装置7における海水加熱装置4での処理に先行し、海水を加熱するための熱媒体2を加熱する熱媒体加熱装置1の具体例を示す。海水淡水化装置7は汲み上げポンプと汲み上げホース等を含む汲み上げ装置3により海洋から汲み上げた海水を加熱する海水加熱装置4と、海水加熱装置4で加熱された海水を蒸発させ、水蒸気を発生させる水蒸気発生装置5と、水蒸気発生装置5で発生した水蒸気を冷却し、真水を生成する真水生成装置6を備える。   FIG. 1 shows a specific example of the heat medium heating device 1 which heats the heat medium 2 for heating seawater, prior to the treatment with the seawater heating device 4 in the seawater desalination apparatus 7 shown in FIG. The seawater desalination apparatus 7 includes a seawater heating apparatus 4 for heating seawater pumped from the ocean by a pumping apparatus 3 including a pumping pump and a pumping hose, and steam for evaporating the seawater heated by the seawater heating apparatus 4 to generate steam. The generator 5 and the fresh water generator 6 that cools the steam generated by the steam generator 5 to produce fresh water are provided.

熱媒体加熱装置1は海水加熱装置4での海水の加熱に先立ち、海水を加熱するための熱媒体2を加熱する。汲み上げられた海水はゴミ等の不純物の濾過等のために貯留タンク31内に貯留させられ、海水加熱装置4へは貯留タンク31から海水加熱装置4における熱媒体2による加熱を受けて蒸発し得る量が供給される。   The heating medium heating device 1 heats the heating medium 2 for heating the seawater prior to the heating of the seawater in the seawater heating device 4. The pumped seawater can be stored in the storage tank 31 for filtration of impurities such as dust, etc., and the seawater heating device 4 can be evaporated from the storage tank 31 by receiving heat from the heat medium 2 in the seawater heating device 4. Quantity is supplied.

海水加熱装置4では図8に示すように熱媒体加熱装置1で加熱された熱媒体2に海水が加熱されて水蒸気が発生させられる。発生した水蒸気は海水加熱装置4に隣接する空間を形成する水蒸気発生装置5から上昇し、その上方に隣接する真水生成装置6内において冷却されて真水となり、この生成された真水は真水生成装置6に隣接する貯水タンク61に貯留させられる。   In the seawater heating device 4, as shown in FIG. 8, seawater is heated in the heat medium 2 heated by the heat medium heating device 1 to generate steam. The generated steam rises from the steam generator 5 forming a space adjacent to the seawater heater 4 and is cooled in the fresh water generator 6 adjacent to the upper side to become fresh water, and the produced fresh water is a fresh water generator 6 Is stored in the water storage tank 61 adjacent to the

熱媒体加熱装置1は図1に示すように熱媒体2が通過する流路11と、流路11をその軸線方向に距離を置いた少なくとも2箇所で保持する保持部材12、12と、距離を置いて対向する保持部材12、12間に架設され、流路11側に凹曲面をなす反射鏡14が形成された、もしくは貼られた中空管13と、保持部材12と中空管13を流路11の軸線方向の回りに回転自在に支持する柱としての支持部材15、15を基本的な構成要素として備える。   As shown in FIG. 1, the heat medium heating device 1 has a flow path 11 through which the heat medium 2 passes, holding members 12 for holding the flow path 11 at at least two positions spaced in the axial direction, and a distance A hollow tube 13 having a reflecting mirror 14 formed or stuck on the flow passage 11 side, which is bridged between the holding members 12 and 12 facing each other, and the holding member 12 and the hollow tube 13 Support members 15, 15 as pillars rotatably supported around the axial direction of the flow path 11 are provided as basic components.

保持部材12、12間の、または中空管13内の流路11を通過し、反射鏡14からの反射光を受けて加熱された熱媒体2は海水加熱装置4へ送られる。海水加熱装置4において海水の加熱のために使用され、温度の低下した熱媒体2は熱媒体加熱装置1で加熱されて膨張した熱媒体2に生じる流動により押され、熱媒体加熱装置1に回収されて流路11へ送られ、熱媒体加熱装置1と海水加熱装置4との間を循環させられる。   The heat medium 2 which has passed through the flow path 11 between the holding members 12 and 12 or in the hollow tube 13 and receives the reflected light from the reflecting mirror 14 is sent to the seawater heating device 4. The heat medium 2 which is used for heating seawater in the seawater heating apparatus 4 and whose temperature is lowered is pushed by the flow generated in the expanded heat medium 2 by the heat medium heating apparatus 1 and recovered to the heat medium heating apparatus 1 It is sent to the flow path 11 and circulated between the heat medium heating device 1 and the seawater heating device 4.

反射鏡14は図7に示すように中空管13を軸方向に見たときの断面上の中心に関して片側の内周面に、中空管13の軸方向に連続的に形成されるか、貼り付けられる。反射鏡14が中空管13の断面上の中心に関して片側に集中して配置されることで、反射鏡14付きの中空管13自体の重心が反射鏡14寄りに偏ることから、図1では重心の偏りを緩和、あるいは解消させるための、反射鏡14と平衡し得るバランスウェイト131を中空管13の断面上の中心に関して反射鏡14の反対側に設置している。中空管13へのバランスウェイト131の設置により中空管13の質量が中空管13の周方向に分散するため、中空管13を軸方向に見たときの、中空管13の断面上の重心を流路11の断面内に位置させることが可能になっている。   As shown in FIG. 7, the reflecting mirror 14 may be continuously formed in the axial direction of the hollow tube 13 on the inner peripheral surface on one side with respect to the center on the cross section when the hollow tube 13 is viewed in the axial direction. It is pasted. Since the reflecting mirror 14 is concentrated on one side with respect to the center of the cross section of the hollow tube 13, the center of gravity of the hollow tube 13 with the reflecting mirror 14 is biased to the reflecting mirror 14 in FIG. A balance weight 131 which can be balanced with the reflecting mirror 14 is disposed on the opposite side of the reflecting mirror 14 with respect to the center on the cross section of the hollow tube 13 in order to reduce or eliminate the deviation of the center of gravity. Since the mass of the hollow tube 13 is dispersed in the circumferential direction of the hollow tube 13 by the installation of the balance weight 131 on the hollow tube 13, the cross section of the hollow tube 13 when the hollow tube 13 is viewed in the axial direction It is possible to position the upper center of gravity within the cross section of the channel 11.

支持部材15、15は中空管13の軸方向が、時刻と共に移動する太陽光の入射方向と直交する方向に向けられるよう、対向する支持部材15、15間の中間位置を中心とする水平面上の円弧状の軌道16上を移動可能に軌道16上に支持される。各支持部材15、15は独立して軌道16上に支持されることもあるが、図1では各支持部材15、15の立設状態での安定性を確保するために両支持部材15、15の頂部間に梁部材151を架設し、両支持部材15、15を互いに連結している。   The supporting members 15, 15 are on a horizontal plane centered on an intermediate position between the opposing supporting members 15, 15 so that the axial direction of the hollow tube 13 is directed in a direction orthogonal to the incident direction of sunlight moving with time. Is movably supported on the track 16 in the form of an arc. Although each support member 15, 15 may be independently supported on the track 16, in FIG. 1, both support members 15, 15 are secured to ensure the stability of the support members 15, 15 in the erected state. A beam member 151 is installed between the tops of the two to connect the two support members 15 with each other.

支持部材15は例えば図1の断面図である図2に示すように軌道16上に支持部材15の脚部の一部である車輪15aが転動自在に載置され、車輪15aが支持部材15の下部に一体化したブラケット(キャスタ)15bに軸支されることにより軌道16上に、軌道16に沿って移動可能に支持される。図2では回転運動を利用して車輪15aが軌道16上を正負の向きに往復動できるよう、ブラケット15bに歯車15cを車輪15aと同軸で軸支させている。この場合、歯車15cには図示しないモータ等の駆動装置から動力が与えられる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 2 which is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, the support member 15 has a wheel 15 a which is a part of a leg portion of the support member 15 rotatably mounted on a track 16. It is movably supported along the track 16 on the track 16 by being pivotally supported by a bracket (caster) 15b integrated in the lower part of the track. In FIG. 2, the gear 15 c is axially supported by the bracket 15 b coaxially with the wheel 15 a so that the wheel 15 a can reciprocate in the positive and negative directions on the track 16 by using rotational motion. In this case, power is supplied to the gear 15 c from a driving device such as a motor (not shown).

流路11は中空管13の軸方向に対向する保持部材12、12とそれぞれの側の支持部材15、15を貫通し、その貫通部分において支持部材15、15に流路11の軸線の回りに回転自在に軸支されることにより中空管13をその軸の回りに回転自在に支持部材15、15に支持させる。保持部材12、12間の流路11の軸線は中空管13の軸線上に配置されることもあるが、図面では中空管13の軸に関し、太陽光の反対側に形成等される反射鏡14に反射した反射光の焦点が図7に示すように中空管13の軸(断面上の中心)より反射鏡14側に寄った位置に形成されることに対応し、流路11の、軸線方向両側の、保持部材12、12への保持部分以外の区間(軸線)を中空管13の軸より反射鏡14寄りの焦点上、または焦点に近い位置に配置している。   The flow passage 11 penetrates the holding members 12 and 12 facing each other in the axial direction of the hollow tube 13 and the support members 15 and 15 on the respective sides, and around the axis of the flow passage 11 in the support members 15 and 15 The hollow tube 13 is supported by the support members 15 and 15 so as to be rotatable around the axis thereof. The axis of the flow passage 11 between the holding members 12, 12 may be disposed on the axis of the hollow tube 13. However, in the drawing, the reflection formed on the opposite side of sunlight with respect to the axis of the hollow tube 13 The focal point of the reflected light reflected by the mirror 14 is formed at a position closer to the reflecting mirror 14 side than the axis (center on the cross section) of the hollow tube 13 as shown in FIG. Sections (axes) other than the holding portions to the holding members 12 12 on both axial sides are disposed at positions near or at the focal point closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the axis of the hollow tube 13.

流路11の支持部材15を貫通(挿通)する部分は中空管13を支持部材15に軸支させる回転軸になるため、流路11の、保持部材12、12への保持部分以外の軸線を中空管13の軸より反射鏡14寄りに位置させる場合、流路11の保持部材12、12側の軸線は図1に示すように保持部材12、12の中心を通り、保持部材12、12の対向する面側において屈曲、もしくは湾曲させられ、保持部材12を貫通する部分の軸線と保持部材12、12への保持部分以外の区間における軸線は偏心する。流路11の軸線は各保持部材12寄りにおいてZ字状に屈曲等させられる。   The portion of the flow passage 11 through which the support member 15 is inserted (inserted) is a rotation axis for supporting the hollow tube 13 on the support member 15. Therefore, the axis of the flow passage 11 other than the holding portion 12, 12 When the hollow tube 13 is positioned closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the axis of the hollow tube 13, the axis of the flow channel 11 on the side of the holding members 12 passes the center of the holding members 12 as shown in FIG. The axis of the portion passing through the holding member 12 and the axis of the section other than the holding portion to the holding members 12, 12 are decentered. The axis of the flow path 11 is bent in a Z-shape or the like in the vicinity of each holding member 12.

図1中の流路11内には熱媒体2が直接、流動することもあるが、図6に示すように流路11内には、反射光による加熱を繰り返す目的で熱媒体2を複数回、通過させることもあることから、流路11内には熱媒体2が直接、移動する導管21が挿通させられることが望ましい。   The heat medium 2 may flow directly in the flow path 11 in FIG. 1, but as shown in FIG. 6, the heat medium 2 is repeated several times in the flow path 11 for the purpose of repeating heating by reflected light. It is desirable that a conduit 21 through which the heat medium 2 is moved be inserted directly into the flow passage 11 because it may pass through.

流路11内を導管21が挿通する場合、流路11は図1に示すように熱媒体加熱装置1の対向する支持部材15、15間に架設されることもあり、その場合、導管21は熱媒体加熱装置1内では流路11内を挿通し、図8に示すように海水加熱装置4と熱媒体加熱装置1間を循環する。流路11は熱媒体加熱装置1内を越えて海水加熱装置4との間にまで、または海水加熱装置4内にまで延長させられることもある。流路11内、または導管21内を流動する熱媒体2は主に加熱されたときの自らの膨張により海水加熱装置4と熱媒体加熱装置1との間を循環させられるが、補助的に移送ポンプ等、圧送のための圧力を受けることもある。   When the conduit 21 passes through the flow passage 11, the flow passage 11 may be bridged between the opposing supporting members 15, 15 of the heat medium heating device 1 as shown in FIG. The heat medium heating device 1 is inserted into the flow path 11 and is circulated between the seawater heating device 4 and the heat medium heating device 1 as shown in FIG. The flow path 11 may be extended beyond the inside of the heat medium heating device 1 to between the seawater heating device 4 or into the seawater heating device 4. The heat medium 2 flowing in the flow path 11 or in the conduit 21 is circulated between the seawater heating device 4 and the heat medium heating device 1 by its own expansion when it is mainly heated, but it is transferred as an aid The pump may receive pressure for pumping.

中空管13の軸方向両端部に位置する保持部材12の、中空管13の軸回りの回転は例えば図3に示すように水平軸回りの回転運動を保持部材12の軸回りの回転運動に変換する歯車等の動力伝達装置121と動力伝達装置121を駆動させるモータ等の駆動装置122を用いることにより自動的に発生させられる。但し、動力伝達装置121と駆動装置122の形態や種類は問われない。保持部材12の回転は必ずしも動力を用いず、手動で回転を発生させられることもある。   Rotation of the holding member 12 located at both axial ends of the hollow tube 13 about the axis of the hollow tube 13 is, for example, rotational movement about the horizontal axis as shown in FIG. The transmission is automatically generated by using a power transmission device 121 such as a gear to be converted into and a drive device 122 such as a motor for driving the power transmission device 121. However, the form and the type of the power transmission device 121 and the drive device 122 are not limited. The rotation of the holding member 12 is not necessarily powered and may be manually generated.

図1〜図3では中空管13を挟んで対向する保持部材12、12の内、一方の保持部材12の外周に従動側の歯車12aを形成し、この歯車12aに動力伝達装置121としての駆動側の歯車を介在させ、この駆動側の歯車に駆動装置122としてのモータを連結している。   In FIGS. 1 to 3, a driven gear 12 a is formed on the outer periphery of one of the holding members 12 facing each other across the hollow tube 13, and the gear 12 a serves as the power transmission device 121. A driving gear is interposed, and a motor as a driving device 122 is connected to the driving gear.

図4は2個以上の中空管13、13が軸方向に直交する方向、例えば鉛直方向に並列して配置された形式の熱媒体加熱装置1の構成例を示す。支持部材15、15間に中空管13、13が並列して架設されることで、単純には図1に示す形式の2倍の量の熱媒体2を加熱し、海水加熱装置4に供給することができる利点がある。中空管13、13の並列する方向は問われないが、支持部材15が柱状に軸方向を鉛直方向に向けて設置されることに対応し、鉛直方向に並列することが合理的である。なお、図1に示す例の場合も図4に示す例の場合も、海水加熱装置4に熱媒体2を供給する熱媒体加熱装置1は1台とは限らず、複数台の熱媒体加熱装置1から海水加熱装置4に熱媒体2が供給されることもある。   FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of the heat medium heating device 1 of a type in which two or more hollow tubes 13, 13 are arranged in parallel in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction, for example, the vertical direction. The hollow tubes 13, 13 are arranged in parallel between the support members 15, 15. By heating the heat medium 2 in an amount twice that of the type shown in FIG. There is an advantage that can be done. There is no limitation on the direction in which the hollow tubes 13, 13 are arranged in parallel, but it is reasonable to arrange the support members 15 in a column in the vertical direction in correspondence to the column being installed with the axial direction directed vertically. In both the example shown in FIG. 1 and the example shown in FIG. 4, the number of the heat medium heating devices 1 for supplying the heat medium 2 to the seawater heating device 4 is not limited to one, and a plurality of heat medium heating devices The heat medium 2 may be supplied to the seawater heating device 4 from 1.

図4に示す例の場合も、並列する中空管13、13の両保持部材12、12を軸回りに回転させる方法は多数、考えられるが、図4では図5に示すように対向する保持部材12、12の内、一方の保持部材12の外周に図1に示す例と同様に従動側の歯車12aを形成する一方、両保持部材12、12間に動力伝達装置121としての駆動側の歯車を介在させ、この駆動側の歯車に駆動装置122としてのモータを連結している。いずれか一方の保持部材12の外周の歯車に駆動側の歯車を噛合させると同時に、両保持部材12、12の歯車を互いに噛合させる方法も考えられるが、両保持部材12、12が軸の回りに互いに逆向きに回転することになる不都合がある。   Even in the case of the example shown in FIG. 4, many methods are conceivable to rotate both holding members 12, 12 of the hollow tubes 13, 13 parallel to each other about the axis, but in FIG. Among the members 12, 12, the driven gear 12a is formed on the outer periphery of one holding member 12 similarly to the example shown in FIG. 1, while the drive side as the power transmission device 121 is provided between both holding members 12, 12. A gear is interposed, and a motor as a drive device 122 is connected to the drive-side gear. There is also conceivable a method in which the gears on the drive side are meshed with the gears on the outer periphery of any one of the holding members 12 and at the same time the gears of both holding members 12 are meshed with each other. There is a disadvantage that they rotate in opposite directions.

図7は流路11の少なくとも軸線方向両側以外の区間を中空管13の軸線より反射鏡14寄りに配置した場合の中空管13と反射鏡14、及び流路11の関係を示す。前記のように反射光の焦点Fは中空管13の軸(中心O)より反射鏡14寄りに位置することから、図7では流路11の、保持部材12、12への保持部分以外の断面上の中心Oを反射光の焦点Fに合致させるか、焦点Fに近い領域に配置している。   FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the hollow tube 13 and the reflecting mirror 14 and the flow path 11 when sections other than at least both axial direction sides of the flow path 11 are disposed closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the axis of the hollow pipe 13. As described above, the focal point F of the reflected light is positioned closer to the reflecting mirror 14 than the axis (center O) of the hollow tube 13. Therefore, in FIG. 7, the portions other than the holding portions 12 and 12 of the flow path 11 are shown. The center O on the cross section is made to coincide with the focal point F of the reflected light or arranged in a region near the focal point F.

図7は太陽光が水平面に対して45°程度、傾斜した方向から中空管13に差し込んでいるときの様子を示している。また反射鏡14の下端から上端までの範囲で受けた太陽光の反射光が同一の焦点Fで交わるよう、反射鏡14の凹曲面の、少なくとも曲率の大きい領域を放物面に形成した場合の例を示しているが、反射鏡14は曲率が連続的に変化する凹曲面に形成されることもある。図7の例では中空管13の反射鏡14以外の曲面を円筒面状に形成している。ここでは流路11を図1に示すように両保持部材12、12間の、保持部材12寄りの位置においてZ字(クランク状)に屈曲、もしくは湾曲させ、保持部材12寄り以外の区間を中空管13の軸に平行に形成している。   FIG. 7 shows a state where sunlight is inserted into the hollow tube 13 from a direction inclined by about 45 ° with respect to the horizontal plane. In the case where at least a region of large concave curvature of the concave surface of the reflecting mirror 14 is formed on a paraboloid so that the reflected light of sunlight received in the range from the lower end to the upper end of the reflecting mirror 14 intersects at the same focal point F Although an example is shown, the reflecting mirror 14 may be formed into a concave surface whose curvature changes continuously. In the example of FIG. 7, the curved surfaces other than the reflecting mirror 14 of the hollow tube 13 are formed in a cylindrical surface. Here, the flow path 11 is bent or curved in a Z shape (crank shape) at a position near the holding member 12 between the two holding members 12 as shown in FIG. It is formed parallel to the axis of the empty tube 13.

図7の例では反射鏡14に反射した太陽光の反射光を漏れなく流路11に当てることができるため、反射光を流路11、すなわち熱媒体2の加熱のために効率的に利用することができる利点がある。   In the example of FIG. 7, since the reflected light of the sunlight reflected by the reflecting mirror 14 can be applied to the flow path 11 without leakage, the reflected light is efficiently used to heat the flow path 11, that is, the heat medium 2. There is an advantage that can be.
