Comprehensive experimental testing and analysis on parabolic trough solar receiver integrated with radiation shield

, 2020
Parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) are the most mature way to harvest high-temperature heat source and widely applied in solar thermal utilizations. Parabolic trough solar receivers as the heat-collecting elements (HCEs) are the key parts of PTC, but ...

Laser technology for solar cells and solar receivers

ICALEO 2007: 26th International Congress on Laser Materials Processing, Laser Microprocessing and Nanomanufacturing, 2007
During the last few years, solar energy conversion by photovoltaics and solar receivers has grown enormously. For the future, efficient and durable products at low cost are necessary and laser technology offers many opportunities to realize this. Two of these technologies are discussed in this paper.

Thermal-hydraulic and thermodynamic performances of liquid metal based nanofluid in parabolic trough solar receiver tube

, 2020
Parabolic trough collectors (PTCs) are widely applied in concentrated solar energy utilization, and the further improvement of PTC's efficiency is usually restricted by heat transfer performance of parabolic trough solar receiver (PTR) tube. With the aim

Central collector solar energy receivers

Solar Energy, 1976
Abstract Central receivers for use with power-generating equipment require compact boiler and superheater designs to effectively concentrate the solar heat input and to improve system power cycle efficiency. Solar thermal collectors employ a central receiver that must be compact to effectively utilize the high concentration ratios of sunlight energy.

Thermo-Fluid-Dynamics of a Ceramic Foam Solar Receiver: A Parametric Analysis

Heat Transfer Engineering, 2020
The high efficiency of concentrated solar power (CSP) in energy conversion makes it a very attractive device for using solar energy as a substitute of nonrenewable energy sources. The open volumetric receiver plays an important role in the performance of

Heat Mirrored Solar Energy Receivers

Journal of Energy, 1977
RANSPARENT heat mirrors are thin films that transmit visible light but reflect infrared radiation. This paper investigates the potential utilization of this wavelength selective property in the process of trapping incident solar energy and its conversion to heat in a high-temperature (5401650°C) windowed cavity.
