SOLAR RADIATION COLLECTOR Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC F24J2/12 

FIELD: heating.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to heating engineering, namely to solar radiation collectors or analogous devices and is concerned with their moving to follow the sun as well as with their cooling and protection. Solar radiation collector comprises a following device to keep the collector focused on the sun, at least one energy converter to convert electromagnetic energy into electric or chemical energy and at least one concentrating device to catch electromagnetic energy and concentrate it at the energy converter; the energy converter during its operation is essentially immersed within the fluid, the concentrating device is essentially located over the fluid level during one period of the day solar energy collection operating cycle and is at least partially immersed within the fluid during the other period of the day operating cycle and both devices are placed in the same fluid.

EFFECT: providing for the protection of solar collectors, in particular, concentrators, against strong winds and ultraviolet radiation.
