Evaluation of Alternative Designs for a High Temperature Particle-to-sCO2 Heat Exchanger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of alternative particle heat-exchanger designs, including moving packed-bed and fluidized-bed designs, for high-temperature heating of a solar-driven supercritical CO2 (sCO2) Brayton power ...
Preliminary Design of an All-Ceramic Discrete-Structure Particle Heating Receiver
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Discrete structure particle heating receivers (DS-PHR), as used in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, employ suitable discrete porous structures to intermittently halt the falling particles to control the speed and ...
On-Sun Performance Evaluation of Alternative High-Temperature Falling Particle Receiver Designs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates the on-sun performance of a 1 MW falling particle receiver. Two particle receiver designs were investigated: obstructed flow particle receiver versus free-falling particle receiver. The intent of the ...
