This invention relates to concentrating solar power systems with application of parabolic dish-shaped reflectors.
A proposed CSP module applies a two-phase thermosiphon intended to transport heat generated by concentrated sunlight on a sunlight receiver onto the external surface of a heat exchanging pipe. The outer end butt of a distal plug, which seals the lower section of the two-phase thermosiphon, is provided with a sunlight absorbing coating.
A tracking manipulator is installed below a dish-shaped mirror and joined with its supporting structure; it provides orientation of the axis of the dish-shaped mirror towards the sun.
The walls of the two-phase thermosiphon are provided with a metal vacuum insulated jacket, which has a flexible middle sub-section of its lower section.
Design of the middle and distal sub-sections of the lower section of the two-phase thermosiphon allows accompanied orientation of the distal sub-section axis of the two-phase thermosiphon towards the sun.
