SOLAR POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: solar engineering. SUBSTANCE: solar power plant comprises optical member 1 mounted on supporting rotatable unit 3 and servo system. The servo system includes heat vessels 6 filled with easily boiling liquid and positioned symmetrically with respect to the focus of optical member 1. The heat vessels are connected with a pressure compensator through pipes 7. The solar power plant has also radiation receiver 2 which is set in the focus of the optical member, adjusting valve 13 which connects heat vessels through pipe lines, and slide 5 which is mounted for permitting displacement along the support. The pressure compensator is made up of at least two hydraulic cylinders 9 secured from the side of the spaces to nonworking surface of member 1 for permitting its orientation on the supporting rotatable unit with moving rods of hydraulic cylinders 9 which is rigidly secured to slide 5. Pipes 7 is in communication with the spaces of corresponding cylinders 9. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 2 dwg
