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 (7)

1. An absorber mounting comprising a support carriage configured 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 configured to encompass the absorber tube, is mounted to the support carriage, wherein the clip has first and second sides and extension arms on the first and second sides and is supported on the absorber cover that is disposed in part around the absorber tube, and

wherein spring elements are assigned to the extension arms, wherein a secondary reflector that is disposed above the absorber tube and below the absorber cover is attached on the spring elements.

2. The absorber mounting according to claim 1 , wherein in addition to the secondary reflector, a protective hood is disposed between the secondary reflector and the absorber cover, wherein the hood is also attached to the spring elements of the extension arms, directly or indirectly.

3. The absorber mounting according to claim 2 , wherein the protective hood is produced from sheet steel.
