Embodiment Construction

[0039] Figures 1 to 5 A mirror assembly including a glass mirror is shown. exist Figures 1 to 3 In , the spacer is a frame extending along the periphery; in Figure 4 In , the sealed gas space is composed of multiple separate gas spaces; in Figure 5 , the sealed gas space is evacuated and the spacers form an array of struts.

[0040] figure 1 Shown is a reflector (1) having a glass substrate (10) (which may be extra-clear glass) supporting a silver layer (11) which ) is covered with a paint layer (12). The mirror is assembled with the panel (2), which can be a glass sheet, a metal sheet or a composite sheet, by means of spacers (3) and sealing material (4). The silver and paint layers are edge removed so that the sealing material adheres to both the mirror glass substrate and the panel and covers the edges of the silver layer for better edge corrosion resistance of the mirror. exist figure 2 In , the mirror has been edged by grinding, and the sealing material cove...

Abstract

Mirror assemblies according to the present invention comprise a mirror (1) and a facing panel (2) with a sealed gas space (5) therebetween. The mirror (1) may be a mirror comprising a glass substrate (10), a silver coating layer (11) and at least one paint layer (12), or a mirror comprising an organic mirror film (14) bonded to a substrate (13). In the case of a glass mirror, the at least one paint layer (12) faces the sealed gas space (5) and in the case of a mirror comprising an organic mirror film (14), the mirror film faces the sealed gas space (5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mirrors, particularly for use as solar reflectors. [0002] The mirrors of the invention can be used as reflectors in solar or heating installations such as concentrating solar power plants. Such devices use solar energy to generate heat that can be converted into electricity or used for steam production. Concentrating solar power plants in which mirrors according to the invention can be used include, for example, parabolic trough power plants, central tower power plants (also called heliostat-type power plants), dish collectors, and Fresnel reflector-type power plants. equipment. Mirror assemblies according to the invention can be used in such devices as flat or curved mirrors. Background technique [0003] Solar reflectors can be produced using self-supporting glass mirrors or by forming a laminate comprising a thin glass mirror or mirror film bonded to a supporting sheet. When a glass mirror is used, if it is ver...
