The extensive introduction of focons and foclines into solar engineering practice is hindered by certain features of these concentrators that make it difficult to combine conventional radiation receivers with them. Foreign-developed receivers are described that operate in conjunction with focons and foclines. Dual systems are proposed to reduce the ray exit angle for these concentrators; the systems consist of focons and foclines joined by small apertures. The use of dual focons and foclines reduces the geometric concentration coefficient somewhat, but at the same time it reduces the angle at which rays leave the system to a prescribed value. The use of dual systems is particularly advantageous in conjunction with photoelectric radiant-energy converters whose efficiency drops at large ray angles of incidence.
