Measurements of the distribution of the flux of energy in the focus of a solar concentrator with visualization techniques
Tóm tắt
This work analyses the setting-up of an optical head which allows the visualization of a section of the distribution of the flux of energy along the focal axis of optical systems in general and of solar concentrators in particular. A circular-type solar concentrator, with the reflector consisting of a plastic lamina aspirated by means of a pump, has been built. The distribution of the energy flux in the focus of this concentrator has been calculated by the theoretical method. Results are compared with experimental data obtained by means of the optical head.
