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 (13)

1. An absorber cover comprising:

a rail having a width and a length longer than the width, wherein the rail is open downward;

an absorber tube mounted on the rail, in suspended manner;

a support carriage; and

an absorber hood disposed over the rail, the support carriage, and the absorber tube;

wherein the absorber hood has a longitudinal expanse and is held using holding frames distributed over the longitudinal expanse;

wherein the holding frames encompass the absorber hood in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal expanse, and each holding frame has a holding bracket for accommodation of the rail in a region of an inner contour of each of the holding frames;

wherein the holding bracket is open downward in a first position;

wherein the holding bracket of a first holding frame of the holding frames is disposed at an apex of the inner contour of the first holding frame;

wherein the absorber hood has recesses for accommodation of the holding bracket in a region of the apex;

wherein the recesses are spaced apart from one another; and

wherein the absorber hood has an outer contour and the outer contour fits into the inner contour of the first holding frame.

2. The absorber cover according to claim 1 , wherein the inner contour of the holding frames is round or polygonal.
