Patent ·
OSTI ID:5205032
This paper describes a solar collector system. It comprises: a frame; a tray supported by the frame and opening in an upward direction for holding a quantity of a liquid therein; an elongate heat absorber element mounted in the tray including upwardly extending parallel vanes which are spaced sufficiently close to one another so that liquid from the tray will be drawn up the vanes; and lens means mounted to the frame for concentrating incident solar radiation on at least a portion of the vanes for evaporating the liquid in the tray.
