A comprehensive study of the latitude-orientated configuration of non-imaging focusing heliostat (LO-NIFH) is reported. In this configuration, we have made the sun tracking formulas of a non-imaging focusing heliostat (NIFH) to be independent of the latitude where it is installed; hence we name it a latitude oriented non-imaging focusing heliostat or LO-NIFH. With the new configuration, the LO-NIFH...
This paper discusses on the flux distribution of a quasi-single stage solar furnace which consists of a non-imaging focusing heliostat as the primary stage and a much smaller spherical concentrator as a secondary. As the optics of the primary stage heliostat is of non-imaging nature, the analytical method for studying the flux distribution of the hot spot of this type of solar furnace would be complicated...
