Solar energy tracking collector
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5641584
A solar energy receiving surface having a heat exchange fluid conduit for circulating a heat exchange fluid in contact with the energy receiving surface is positioned between and thermally insulated from an upper and a lower cover, the lower cover serving as a base, and the upper cover, serving as a fixed tracking system, is provided with a multiplicity of raised surfaces which trap and collect incident solar radiation and direct it to the energy receiving surface. In the preferred embodiment the collector is evacuated to provide greater thermal insulation efficiency. Other conduits are provided to introduce a heat exchange fluid and to receive or collect the fluid after it has been in heat exchange contact with the energy receiving surface.
