Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to solar energy systems, and in one of its aspects, to a high temperature collector system using a salt mixture storage. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method and apparatus for tracking the movement of a radiation source such as the movement of the sun across the sky.
  • Mineral storage is limited to sensible heat only since there is no realistic operating range wherein the heat of fusion might be utilized. Further, since there is air in the mineral media itself, expanding gases must be dealt with. Further, the transfer of thermal energy within the mineral media itself is slow.
  • Oil and mineral storage of thermal energy is .not suitable for high temperatures due to the flammability of most oils. Additionally, oil and mineral storage systems pose drastic environmental problems in the event of either a fire or a spill. Liquid thermal energy storage systems normally have low boiling points and excessive vapor pressure and often present flammability problems.
  • Salt eutectics overcome many of the problems presented by the other thermal storage systems, but usually have narrow thermal bandwidths and cannot be utilized at extremely high temperatures.
  • a sun tracking system is shown in ⁇ . S. Patent No. 3,996,917 issued to Trihey which includes two pairs of light sensitive elements disposed on opposite sides of an optical axis so that the two elements of each pair will be exposed to a different degree of solar radiation when the optical axis is misaligned with the direction of the sun, and a shading element to increase the sensitivity of the tracker to small movements of the sun.
  • the shading element is fixed in size and position relative to the light-sensitive elements and does not take into account the differences between sunny days where the solar image is small but intense and cloudy days when the solar image is large but less intense. Disclosure of Invention
  • the present invention concerns a system for utilizing solar energy by collecting and concentrating solar radiation and converting the radiation concentrated into thermal energy and then storing that thermal energy at a high temperature.
  • the solar energy system utilizes at least one- collector for collecting and concentrating the solar radiation and a receiver associated with the at least one collector for converting the radiation concentrated by the collector into thermal energy at a high temperature.
  • the thermal energy is then transferred from the receiver to a thermal energy accumulator which includes a mixture of fusible salts.
  • the salts are fused by the high temperature of the solar energy system so that during periods of reduced sunshine, the system can continue to supply thermal energy not only from the sensible heat of the salts but also from the salts giving up the heat of fusion as various salts in the mixture nucleate.
  • the salts of the mixture are chosen in such a way that they nucleate at different temperatures, thus spreading the time over which significant energy can be extracted from the thermal energy accumulator and maintaining the mixture in a fluid state over a wide range of temperature.
  • the collector includes a primary reflector including a concave substantially paraboloid-shaped reflecting surface for concentrating radiation and a secondary reflector for directing to the receiver the radiation concentrated by the primary reflector.
  • the primary reflector forms an aperture substantially at the vertex of the substantially paraboloid-shaped reflecting surface, and the receiver is disposed outside of the primary reflector opposite the aperture whereby the radiation reflected from the secondary reflector is directed through the aperture to the receiver.
  • the primary reflector also includes a removable reflective liner for lining the concentrating side of the reflector so that the reflecting surface can actually be removed and replaced rather than polished, thus simplifying maintenance of the collector.
  • One embodiment of the solar energy system utilizes at least one heat pipe for transferring thermal energy from the receiver to the thermal energy accumulator.
  • the at least one heat pipe includes a means for substantially stopping the transfer of thermal energy.
  • a radiation seeker is used as a sun-seeker, and as part of a control system, the sun-seeker can be used for guiding the collector.
  • the sun-seeker includes three photosensitive elements disposed around a central axis and an adjustable aperture along the axis so that the elements are exposed to a different amount of solar radiation when the tracker is misaligned with the direction of maximum usable solar radiation and to the same amount of solar radiation when the radiation axis is aligned with the direction of maximum usable solar radiation. This arrangement also prevents the tracker from mistakenly tracking a bright cloud rather than the sun.
  • the solar energy system also utilizes a control system which adjusts the position of the primary reflector with respect to its support and can stop the transfer of thermal energy from the receiver to the thermal energy accumulator as well as perform other system functions.
  • the control system is responsive to the expected position of the sun and the position of the sun as tracked by the sun-seeker, as well as certain predetermined potentially dangerous conditions.
