Abstract

L'invention concerne des exemples et des variations d'appareil et de procédés pour concentrer des rayonnements solaires avec des collecteurs d'énergie solaire cylindriques. Un ensemble support pour un collecteur d'énergie solaire cylindrique comporte une pluralité de nervures transversales attachées à des rails longitudinaux et des ensembles extrémité fixés aux rails. Des ensembles extrémité peuvent s'attacher à des rails longitudinaux par l'intermédiaire des nervures transversales, et des câbles d'ancrage peuvent traverser de l'une des sections d'extrémité à l'autre. Des nervures transversales peuvent être formées de deux sections de nervures avec une forme semi-parabolique. Des panneaux collecteurs d'énergie solaire peuvent être placés sur les nervures et fixés avec des capots et des bandes de fixation de panneau transversales, par exemple.The invention provides examples and variations of apparatus and methods for concentrating solar radiation with cylindrical solar energy collectors. A support assembly for a cylindrical solar energy collector has a plurality of transverse ribs attached to longitudinal rails and end assemblies attached to the rails. End assemblies may attach to longitudinal rails through the transverse ribs, and anchor cables may traverse from one end section to the other. Transverse ribs may be formed of two sections of ribs with a semi-parabolic shape. Solar energy collector panels may be placed on the ribs and secured with covers and transverse panel fastening strips, for example.
