ORIENTATION SYSTEM FOR SOLAR MODULES EQUIPPED WITH CONCENTRATORS FOR HEATING HEAT TRANSFER MEDIUM (EMBODIMENTS) Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC F24J2/42 

FIELD: heating, heliotechnology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of heliotechnology, in particular, to solar plants equipped with solar radiation concentrators and means of their orientation. An orientation system comprises base frame capable of pivoting around a fixed axle. There is a second axle, which is mounted on said frame perpendicularly towards the first axle and around which solar modules and concentrators may pivot being oriented to the cardinal directions North-South. Furthermore, the fixed axle is arranged horizontally on the brackets of a support erected on the ground. The base frame has a form of a rigid cross with mutually perpendicular transverse bars, one of which is capable of pivoting around the fixed axle. Solar modules are mounted onto said cross and are capable of pivoting around the cross transverse bar being perpendicular towards the fixed axle. The horizontal fixed axle has the form of a pipe wherein a heat transfer medium circulates. Moreover, the base frame has the form of a rigid cross made of pipes and its horizontal arms are connected to a rotary drive mounted on the fixed axle brackets. The cross arms that are perpendicular to the horizontal ones are hollow as well and receive, for instance, fiber-optical light guides. The invention shall provide for combining separate solar plants into a common system, whereby their power capacity is increased.

EFFECT: increasing the power capacity of a solar plant by means of combining separate plants into a common system.
