ABSTRACT:
A solar furnace of dish-shaped configuration for the reflection of solar rays toward a heat exchanger through which passes a heated medium. The reflective surface of the furnace comprises a multitude of mirror elements incorporated into a fiber glass reinforced plastic structure with each of the mirror elements located so as to reflect rays toward a common focus. A wire grid spaces each of the mirror elements during furnace construction. Each of said mirror elements is temporarily supported on a loosely woven fiber glass cloth permitting each element to individually adapt to the curvature of a convex mold. Subsequent application of fiber glass and resin to the thickness desired results in a rigid dish-shaped structure within which may incorporate support components. A method of furnace construction is additionally set forth.
