Abstract:
An optical system comprising a liquid modular lens without spherical deviation, said liquid modular lens to condense solar energy, the optical system further comprising means to absorb the solar energy condensed, said absorbing means comprising a thermal plate capable of absorbing high temperatures, wherein said liquid modular lens consists of a number of lenticular receptacles (2), without tapered ends, forming the lenticular receptacles (2) are a number of circular crowns, the lenticular receptacles being filled with different fluids, provided with a refraction index determining the uniform convergence of the solar flow, said solar flow being further transformed into a light bundle of parallel rays, by a divergent liquid lens (4), placed next to the luminous focus, the exit angle of the lenticular receptacles (2) being modifiable by changing the slope of the lower face (3) of the liquid modular lens, the lenticular receptacles (2) of the liquid modular lens placed and fitted on a reticular structure, and all of the lenticular receptacles (2) having between them an adequate separation, to allow dilations, all of the lenticular receptacles (2) being sealed in their internal and external perimeters, and the chambers created by that seal also being filled with a fluid the purpose of which is to prevent internal reflection, incorporated between the receptacles perimeters and the chambers.
