Abstract

A solar receiver having a radiation capturing element for capturing solar radiation passing through a radiation receiving aperture into a cavity formed by the radiation capturing element, the aperture having a first diameter and the cavity having cylindrical walls of a second diameter, the second diameter being larger than the first diameter, preferably about twice as large. Furthermore, the length of the cavity is greater than the first diameter, preferably about twice as great.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to solar receivers for capturing solar radiation having improved parameters for converting solar energy to thermal energy in a working fluid. Background technique [0002] The field of power generation systems using renewable energy sources includes the conversion of energy from the sun's radiation into useful work which can then be used to generate power such as electricity. One means by which this conversion can be achieved is through solar heating of a working fluid such as a liquid or gas, the material once heated can then be used to drive some form of turbine to generate electricity. Systems operating on this principle may employ large arrays of parabolic mirrors positioned around a solar receiver in a precise manner to reflect radiation from the sun onto specific areas of the solar receiver. In this way, it is achieved that allows much greater amounts of solar radiation to be directed to the solar receiver than wou...
