ABSTRACT:
A solar ray reflector of semi-hemispherical form is joined at its periphery to one end of a short rigid cylindrical support member fixed to trunnion tubes extending through diametrically opposite sides of the support member and rotating in bearings on an equatorial axis which are held by a mounting frame. The reflector faces the sun and a space on the focal plane of the reflector between two flanges on the interior ends of the two trunnion tubes contains a fixed cylindrical heat exchanger supported on fixed water supply connecting pipes within the rotatable trunnion tubes. A liquid evaporating heat sensor and metal bellows thrust motor is supported on the flanges and is placed on one side next to the heat exchanger. Travel of the sun's image off the heat exchanger and on to the sensor expands the metal bellows longitudinally to provide a motor thrust which is stored in a compression spring and then released by a trigger with sufficient to activate a translating mechanism which quickly rotates the reflector through an angle restoring the sun's image to a position on the opposite side of the heat exchanger. During the time of travel of the sun's image across the heat exchanger the vapor in the thrust motor is cooled and condensed and the bellows contracts resetting the mechanism for another image restoring cycle. Water circulated through the heat exchanger is heated for an external water system while the sun's image is present on the heat exchanger and the reflector is stationary.
