ABSTRACT:
A parabolic reflector having support structure, mounted upon a rotatable track, for supporting a parabolic dish framework to which is mounted one or more support panels to which, in turn, are pivotally mounted a plurality of reflectors for focusing rays on a linear collector. The support panels include a plurality of concave recesses operable to receive bowl-shaped reflectors provided with polygonal rims so that the sides of adjacent reflectors will be in registry with one another. The support panels are provided with bolts, outwardly extending from the base of each recess, the bolts being received in slotted apertures in each reflector bowl for pivoting and fastening the reflector in a pre-selected position for focusing solar rays upon the collector. The collector includes a heat exchange media operable to conduct heat at extremely high temperatures for production of steam. A novel tracking system is also provided.
