The core technology for all Frenzel
Solutions products was developed in
collaboration with the inventor and developer of the parabolic solar
concentrator,
Mr. Wolfgang Scheffler.
The solar concentrator is a small lateral section of a much larger
paraboloid. The inclined cut produces the typical elliptical shape of
the Concentrator. The sunlight that falls onto this built-up section of
the paraboloid is reflected and concentrated at the focus, located at a
pre-determined distance from the concentrator. The energy collected at
the focal point can be harnessed for various end applications. A typical
integrated system would consist of Parabolic Solar Concentrator array,
Energy Receivers/Collectors, Steam Headers, Automatic Tracking System,
Valves and Controls.
Frenzel Solutions brings a unique combination of German
technology/engineering, and global operations to deliver inexpensive
high quality solutions.
Key features of our technology include:
 The
axis of daily rotation is located exactly in the North-South direction,
is parallel to the earth's axis and runs through the center of gravity
of the concentrator; this ensures that the concentrator always maintains
its gravitation equilibrium.
Automated
tracking device tracks the location of the sun daily.
The
focus of the concentrator is located on the axis of rotation and thus
prevents the focal point from any lateral or vertical excursions; thus,
the focal point remains fixed.
Seasonally,
the incident angle of the solar radiation varies +/- 23.5o. In order to
maintain a fixed focal point through the year, the concentrator is
capable of automated adjustments (or a simple manual adjustment) that
maintains the location of the focal point. |
