SOLAR FIELD CLEANING SYSTEM AND CLEANING METHOD USED BY SAID SYSTEM
Cleaning system for solar fields, formed by heliostats or photovoltaic solar trackers, which is formed by a plurality of mobile autonomous robots (2), and at least one transport vehicle (7), which transports the robots (2), deposits them on the heliostats or on photovoltaic solar trackers for the robots to clean them, and collects them once they have finished the cleaning. The robots (2) have a chassis (3) in which there are arranged means for the displacement along all the reflective surfaces (1) of the heliostats or photovoltaic modules (1) of the solar trackers, cleaning means arranged on the front part (4) of the chassis (3), for the cleaning of reflective surfaces (1) or the photovoltaic modules (1), and navigation means, connected to the displacement means, which orient and direct the robot (2) in its displacement along the reflective surfaces (1) or of the photovoltaic modules (1).

The sealing means (1A) comprise a first auxiliary generatrix (1A1) in a throat of the cross section. The intermediate tubes/bars ( 1M) and the end tubes/bars (1E) comprise respectively a first intermediate (1M1) and an end generatrix (1E1) in contact with the first auxiliary generatrix (1A1), forming a union wall of the sealing means (1A) with an intermediate tube/bar (1M) and an end tube/bar (1E). The end tubes/bars (1E) comprise a second external generatrix (1E2) contacting an edge of the opening forming a union wall of the end tube/bar (1E) with the edge of the opening.
Heliostat facet configured from a flat structure comprising a central section (1) and a peripheral section (2) comprising first (3) and second sides (4), being both sections linked together by a plurality of arms (5, 6), which starting from the central section (1) radially run towards the peripheral section (2) taking as reference the geometrical center (7) of the facet. In at least three of the arms (5, 6), there are support points (15) of the facet in the corresponding heliostat support (16). The arms (5,6) comprise first arms (5) which are arranged from the central section (1) to the peripheral section (2) running in a divergent manner and at least two couples of second arms (6) which starting from the central section (1) run to the peripheral section (2), the arms (6) of each couple radially running in a convergent manner.
The invention relates to a thermocline storage tank including a barrier element which floats between two fluids stored at different temperatures, physically separating said fluids and isolating same. The floating barrier has multiple design characteristics that broaden the scope of application thereof, enabling same to be used in fields such as those involving the use of heat storage systems of solar generating plants.
The invention relates to a support arm for a cylindrical-parabolic collector, which is intended to be coupled to a central body (1) of the collector in the form of a bracket in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to a focal line (2) of the collector. The inventive arm takes the form of a wedge comprising: a first side (10) which is provided with support devices (11) for supporting at least one mirror (3), a second side (20), and a third side (30) which is provided with support devices (31) such that the arm is supported by the central body (1). The arm is formed by at least one press-formed plate such as to obtain a resistant structure that provides stiffness and a carrying capacity by means of a plurality of ribs (42) which form a lattice comprising a plurality of laminar segments (41) between said ribs.
The invention relates to a nozzle (1) for connecting conduits to a header for high temperature fluids. Said nozzle (1) is comprised by a tubular part having a circular section with at least two spans of different sections (2, 3), having decreasing dimensions from its connection to the header to its connection to the conduit, between the spans of which there is a step having rounded edges (4) and angles (5). The nozzle (1) is fixed to the conduit through the edge (8), while it is fixed to the contour of the header orifice through the flange (6) in the event that the nozzle (1 ) is independent of the header. The nozzle (1 ) can be obtained by machining, by spinning from a sheet, or by stamping from the wall of the header.
The invention relates to a thin wall header with a variable cross-section for solar absorption panels, manufactured in nickel-based superalloy and formed by a main thin wall body (18) and by a plurality of nozzles (16,21 ). The header (10) is connected to a series of junction nozzles (16) wherein respective solar absorption tubes (14) are connected, and at least one inlet or outlet nozzle (21 ) wherein at least a fed tube is connected.
