Abstract:
A linear Fresnel light concentrating device with high multiplying power, including a reflector field and a receiving unit, where the reflector field includes a plurality of arrays of one-dimensional linear convergence reflector strips; the linear receiving unit is arranged parallel to the reflector strips, and is provided with a secondary optical light concentrating unit inside, the height value of the receiving unit exceeds half of the width value of the reflector field, so as to obtain a relatively high primary convergence light concentrating multiplying power and secondary convergence light concentrating multiplying power, thereby realizing a high total convergence light concentrating multiplying power. High multiplying power light concentration in low cost can be achieved, while the severe problem of low light concentration efficiency caused by extinction, tolerance rate and shading rate and the problem of inconvenience in repair and maintenance of the device are solved.
Abstract:
An assembly of units comprised of mirrors assembled along at least one parabolic arc, each mirror having two opposing lateral edges and opposing longitudinal internal and external edges, each of the two mirrors being longitudinally secured to the other mirror along their respective longitudinal internal edges by at least one securing device positioned at the centre of the parabolic arc; and secured at each lateral edge to the wheel supports.
Abstract:
