Abstract

An absorber system solves problems of known absorber systems for use in solar fields in that the absorber tube is suspended on a rail below an absorber cover. The design also makes it possible to move measuring and cleaning robots and the like along the absorber tube more and allows the absorber tube and the secondary reflector to be jointly suspended, whereby an exact mutual alignment between the two components is enabled.

Claims (8)

1. An absorber mounting comprising a support carriage for suspended mounting of an absorber tube on a rail element;

wherein the support carriage is movable along the rail element;

wherein the support carriage is disposed beneath an absorber cover;

wherein a clip for encompassing the absorber tube is mounted to the support carriage, with an interposition of one or more thermally insulating support elements distributed over an inside circumference of the clip;

wherein each of the support elements comprises a thermally insulating material; and

wherein extension arms for support on the absorber cover that is disposed over the absorber tube are mounted to the clip on opposing lateral sides, such that the extension arms contact the absorber cover.

2. The absorber mounting according to claim 1 , wherein the extension arms have roller elements in an end position configured to contact the absorber cover.

3. The absorber mounting according to claim 1 , wherein spring elements are assigned to the extension arms, wherein a secondary reflector that overlaps the absorber tube below the absorber cover is attached on the spring elements.
