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 support apparatus having an absorber cover as well as an absorber tube mounted in suspended manner, comprising a plurality of load-bearing supports;

wherein the load-bearing supports have a side facing the absorber cover;

wherein the load-bearing supports keep a travel path clear for a travel carriage movable below the absorber cover, in a longitudinal expanse direction of the absorber cover, on the side facing the absorber cover, for which carriage rails are assigned to the absorber hood, on both laterally opposing sides of the absorber hood, directly or indirectly; and

wherein the carriage rails are guided parallel to and below the absorber tube.

2. The absorber support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the load-bearing supports are formed in multiple Y-shaped layers spaced apart from one another, with a formation of spring elements, and

wherein mobility of the layers relative to one another is implemented via a solid-body articulation.

3. An absorber system comprising an absorber support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the absorber support apparatus carries an absorber cover,

wherein an absorber mounting is suspended in the rail of the absorber cover and carries the absorber tube.
