Abstract

A radiation-to-thermal receiver apparatus for collecting radiation and converting it to thermal energy is disclosed. The invention includes a fibrous mat material which captures radiation striking the receiver. Captured radiation is removed from the fibrous mat material by a transparent fluid within which the material is bathed.

Liquid cooled fiber thermal radiation receiver

Patent Butler, B.L.

This patent describes a solar energy absorbing thermal receiver apparatus of rectangular elongate orientation maintained by a support stand and having inlet and outlet ports on opposite ends thereof. The receiver includes a support plate having bores for transmitting thermal energy, the receiver adapted to operate within a temperature range of 100/sup 0/-1200/sup 0/C. and at a 10 sun or greater solar energy density; the thermal receiver comprising: an array of blackened, closely-spaced, small-diameter fibers for capturing incident solar radiation striking a side of the receiver. The array has an orientation adapted to govern the absorption of solar energy bymore »« less

Liquid cooled linear focus solar cell receiver

Patent Kirpich, A.S.

Separate structures for electrical insulation and thermal conduction are established within a liquid cooled, linear focus solar cell receiver for use with parabolic or Fresnel optical concentrators. The receiver includes a V-shaped aluminum extrusion having a pair of outer faces each formed with a channel receiving a string of solar cells in thermal contact with the extrusion. Each cell string is attached to a continuous glass cover secured within the channel with spring clips to isolate the string from the external environment. Repair or replacement of solar cells is effected simply by detaching the spring clips to remove the cover/cellmore »« less

Infrared receiver having a cooled radiation detector

Patent Van Antwerpen, H. C.

An infrared receiver having an infrared radiation detector cooled by means of a cold-gas engine, the thermal contact between a cooling surface of the cold-gas engine and the radiation detector being obtained by an elastic thermally conducting bridge. The cylindrical bridge is comprised of a plurality of turns of a metal strip. Due to the presence of the bridge, a good thermal conduction and further a compensation for differences in thermal expansion coefficients of the materials used are obtained. The infrared receiver is particularly suitable for night vision apparatus.
