Embodiment Construction

[0035] Specific terms will be used in this patent application, and the construction thereof should not be construed as a limitation of the specific term chosen, but rather as referring to the general concept behind the specific term.

[0036] figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of an energy conversion and transfer arrangement 10 according to the invention is shown. The main functional elements of the energy conversion and transfer arrangement 10 are the spectral shaper 3 and the electromagnetic radiation emitter 2 .

[0037] same as figure 1 As shown, another main functional element of the energy conversion and transfer arrangement, the spectral shaper 3 is arranged such that the input surface 3.X is adjacent to said electromagnetic radiation emitter 2 . The energy transfer between 2 and 3.X is mainly carried out by thermal electromagnetic radiation.

[0038] The spectral shaper 3 comprises an input surface 3.X defining a flow-through heat transfer area X. Spectral S...

Abstract

An energy conversion and transfer arrangement (10) comprising a spectral shaper (3) with an input surface (3.X) defining a flow-through heat transfer area (X) and an electro-magnetic radiation emitter (2) arranged within said flow-through heat transfer area (X) to allow for surface specific fuel combustion processes such as catalytic conversion which heat up the emitter to high temperatures, the electro-magnetic radiation emitter (2) being configured for emitting predominantly near-infrared radiation when exposed to high temperature; wherein the spectral shaper (3) is configured as a band pass filter for a first, optimal spectral band of the radiation emitted by the electro-magnetic radiation emitter (2) when exposed to high temperature; and / or as a reflector for further, non-optimal spectral band(s) of the radiation emitted by the electro-magnetic radiation emitter (2), so that said second, non-optimal spectral band radiation is recycled as radiation redirected towards the electro-magnetic radiation emitter (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an energy conversion and transfer arrangement for a thermophotovoltaic device and a thermophotovoltaic device comprising such an energy conversion and transfer arrangement. Background technique [0002] With the high demand for electricity and even for clean CO 2 With higher demand for neutral energy sources, the efficiency of energy harvesting plays an increasingly important role. As many industrialized countries seek to transition away from nuclear power production, the need for alternative energy sources is greater than ever. However, few, if any, truly viable alternative energy sources are known so far. Many "classic" renewable energy sources such as wind turbines or solar plants have significant disadvantages that hinder their deployment. [0003] Even if these disadvantages of "classical" renewable energy sources such as wind turbines or solar farms are addressed, there remains the big problem that the locations where ...
