FOCUSING SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR

Floor-standing mobile apparatus that illustrates the workings of a focusing solar energy collector and allows students to study its performance. Supplied with four sizes of absorber.

A focusing solar energy collector on a mobile frame. Specially designed for educational use, the apparatus shows the principles, advantages and limits of this method of capturing solar energy. It is a highly-polished stainless steel parabolic reflector, supported on trunnion bearings on a turntable. Learn about FOCUSING SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR suppliers for optimal educational outcomes.. By adjusting the horizontal and vertical position of the reflector, students focus solar energy onto an energy collector. The energy collector is a brass cylinder with an embedded thermocouple that measures the cylinder temperature. Learn about FOCUSING SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR price for optimal educational outcomes.. To enable students to compare different concentration ratios, four different sizes of energy collector are supplied. Also supplied is a removable transparent cover for the collector, so students can study the properties of shielded and unshielded collectors. Learn about FOCUSING SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Attached to the reflector carrier is a solarimeter (pyranometer) that measures the incident solar radiation. An extra thermocouple measures ambient temperature for reference. Learn about FOCUSING SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR exporters for optimal educational outcomes.. The cylinder thermocouple, the solarimeter and the ambient temperature thermocouple connect to a Display Unit. The Instrumentation Unit shows ambient temperature, collector temperature and solar intensity from the solarimeter.
