摘要:
The object of the invention is a sandwich-type facet having high rigidity, designed such that variations in the optical quality and curvature thereof, due to the influence of the working conditions, are minimized with respect to other known facets. The facet of the invention is preferably formed by two outer mirror layers, attached by polymer foam having a specific formulation and design, which is deposited in cream phase on one of said mirror layers. More preferably, the design of the geometry of the different layers is configured such that equilibrium is obtained between the internal stresses and deformations of the facet, generated by temperature deviations from the working conditions, and particularly the thermal gradient existing between the faces in working conditions, thereby maximizing the mechanical inertia of the facet for the purpose of improving the rigidity thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to surface assembly and canting control systems for assembling and canting surfaces formed by a plurality of smaller surfaces, preferably heliostats or parabolic troughs for installation in solar power plants for power production, and to assembly and canting methods based on such systems. Preferably, the system of the invention comprises a three-dimensional canting structure configured to be located in a space larger than that of the reflective surface; and a plurality of canting control nodes arranged in the three-dimensional canting structure. Advantageously, the control nodes of the system comprise one or more physical canting stops, formed as substantially static elements, with the possibility of having pivoting or vertically movable auxiliary elements, where the positions of said stops are adjustable for defining canting reference points on the surface to be canted.
