Infrared-Reflective Coating on Fused Silica for a Solar High-Temperature Receiver

open access: yes, 2007
In concentrating solar power, high-temperature solar receivers can provide heat to highly efficient cycles for electricity or chemical production. Excessive heating of the fused-silica window and the resulting recrystallization are major problems of high-

Effects of Absorber Emissivity on Thermal Performance of a Solar Cavity Receiver

open access: yesAdvances in Condensed Matter Physics, 2014
Solar cavity receiver is a key component to realize the light-heat conversion in tower-type solar power system. It usually has an aperture for concentrated sunlight coming in, and the heat loss is unavoidable because of this aperture. Generally, in order

A direct absorber reactor/receiver for solar thermal applications

open access: yesChemical Engineering Science, 1990
Abstract A novel catalytic reactor concept is described in which concentrated radiant (solar) energy is directly absorbed at the catalytic reaction sites, thereby avoiding the heat-transfer limitations of conventional tubular reactors for high-flux conditions. Results from a detailed numerical model of a direct catalytic adsorption reactor illustrate
