Concentrating photovoltaic solar cooler

Abstract

The invention relates to a concentrating photovoltaic solar cooler and belongs to the technical field of solar power generation. The concentrating photovoltaic solar cooler comprises main cooling fins, auxiliary cooling fins, a cooler bottom plate and a concentrating photovoltaic conversion receiver mounting area, wherein a main cooling fin array and two auxiliary cooling fin arrays of different shapes are arranged on one face of the cooler bottom plate, the auxiliary cooling fins are arranged in the mode that the heights of the auxiliary cooling fins become smaller progressively from the center main cooling fins to the periphery, and a concentrating photovoltaic conversion receiver mounting area is arranged on the other face of the cooler bottom plate. The concentrating photovoltaic solar cooler is simple in structure and low in manufacturing cost, the cooling fins of the cooler are arranged in an arrayed mode, the weight is reduced, the auxiliary cooling fins are lower than the main cooling fins, thus heat on the main cooling fins can be conducted into air rapidly, and the cooling effect of the cooler is improved greatly.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technology makes it possible for better cooling performance without adding too much material or requiring extra equipment compared with traditional methods like water pipes. It also simplifies its construction process by allowing each part inside one unit instead of being separately manufactured at once.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to improving the performance and efficiency of solar cells due to their extreme temperatures during operation. To address these issues, concentrators were developed where multiple small receivers made from different types of material (metal) joined together create larger surfaces called pads. These smaller units absorb more incident rays than traditional large panels while still allowing them to function properly over longer periods without being affected negatively. Additionally, they have been designed to reduce costs associated with manufacturing processes such as weldings, connectivity between components, and other factors like thermal stress.
