OSTI ID:5764913
The disclosure illustrates a solar energy collector of the focusing type where the beam component of solar radiation is reflected and focused along a focal axis. A heat conductive tube for heat exchange fluid is positioned along the focal axis. A cylindrical glass shell is formed around the tube and is evacuated to minimize convection losses. A pair of elements forming a Winston-Setti collector are positioned within the glass tube to collect and concentrate solar energy on the tube which would be otherwise lost in the shadow cast on the reflector by the receiver assembly.
