  • Publication number: 20150345832
    Abstract: It is lighter and easier to assemble. It comprises a) an anchoring sub-structure (10) for anchoring to the ground; b) a tracking sub-structure (20), mounted on the anchoring sub-structure (10) and such that it can rotate about an azimuth axis; c) a driving sub-structure (30) comprising two coaxial hoops (31) formed by a plurality of assembled stamped segments (33), said hoops (31) being joined by tie-rods (32); the driving sub-structure (30) being capable of elevation rotation in relation to the tracking sub-structure (20); d) a supporting sub-structure (50), in the form of a cradle, designed to support a reflective surface; and e) a modular connection sub-structure (40), manufactured with stamped elements, whereon the supporting sub-structure (50) is mounted, and fixed on the inside of the driving sub-structure (30).

  • Patent number: 9080790
    Abstract: Concave receiver for a Stirling dish the main components of which are tubes (which form the surface on which the concentrated solar light beam falls), collectors (welded to the tubes and place the fluid that runs through the tubes in communication with the tanks), tanks (the internal areas of the collectors from which the working gas is distributed to each of the tubes) and cupolas (of which there are two types, that for housing the regenerator and the expansion cupola which is the area where the working gas is at a higher temperature) comprising a series of tubes (10, 11) extending from one collector (2), perpendicular thereto, to the other (2), also perpendicular thereto, and having a straight part (12) running from the inside of each collector (2) to the point where the tube starts to curve and a central part (13) in the shape of an arc of a circumference.

  • Publication number: 20130213388
    Abstract: Coil solar receiver for a Stirling disk, the main components of which are pipes (where the sun hits), collectors, tanks and cupolas (of which there are two types, one that houses the regenerator, and the expansion cupola that is the area where the working gas is at a higher temperature) that includes a series of pipes (1) that perpendicularly exit from one collector (2) and perpendicularly enter another (2) and where each pipe consists of two semicircumferential curved parts (10) and three straight parts (11) parallel to one another: a center straight part (between curve and curve) and two straight parts on the ends (between the curve and the exit of one collector (2)), the two straight end parts being located on the same plane, while the center straight part is located in a separate plane.

  • Publication number: 20120216538
    Abstract: A Stirling engine solar concentrator system including a primary reflector (10) mounted on a base supporting structure (1), a secondary reflector (14) located at a focus of the primary reflector (10). a receiver (18) located at a focus of the secondary reflector (14), wherein sunrays are reflected from the primary reflector (10) to the secondary reflector (14) and are reflected back from the secondary reflector (14) to the receiver (18), and a Stirling engine (5) located near the receiver (18), characterised by a cooling system of the Stirling engine (5) including a plurality of heat transfer elements (6, 8) mounted on a shaded side of the primary reflector (10), wherein a cooling fluid (19) is arranged to flow between the Stirling engine (5) and the heat transfer elements (6, 8).
