Abstract:
A coolant loop for trough-reflector solar energy conversion systems has open coolant supply and discharge reservoirs. Coolant is driven by siphoning pressure through cooling channels which have attached solar cell arrays. The siphoning pressure is produced by maintaining the free surface of coolant in a coolant supply reservoir at a higher elevation than the free surface of coolant in a coolant discharge reservoir. The cooling channels have air evacuation and air inlet ports to facilitate initiation and termination of siphon-pressure-driven coolant flow. The cooling channels also have in-line flow control valves that respond to control signals generated by coolant temperature sensors.

Claim (Index 2):
A coolant loop as described in  claim 1  wherein said elevation difference, H, between the free surface of the coolant in said coolant supply reservoir and the free surface of the coolant in said coolant discharge reservoir is maintained at a value equal to the yearly-critical elevation difference, H yc , thereby ensuring adequate cooling for all of said solar cells arrays when direct solar irradiance is less than or equal to its calculated maximum possible value, I YM , for the year at the deployment location of said trough reflector system.
