Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 The reference number 1 in as a whole designates a solar energy converter arrangement according to various embodiments of the invention, and here in particular according to the first embodiment.

[0041] The converter device 1 comprises a housing 2 and a core 4 , both developing axially along a longitudinal axis X and coaxial with each other and with the axis X . Arranged at the ends of the converter 1 are a first end plate 6 and a second end plate 8 , which delimit the converter and enclose in a fluid-tight manner the volume comprised between the casing 2 and the core 4 . Preferably, the converter device 1 has an overall cylindrical shape such that both the housing 2 and the core 4 have an overall cylindrical shape. In this case, the volume comprised between the core 4 and the casing 2 determines the shape like a cylindrical ring. A vacuum is obtained in the volume in question.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the core 4 comprises a tubular element 40 ho...

Abstract

Described herein is a solar-energy converter device (1; 100; 200; 300; 400) comprising a shell (2; 102; 202; 302; 402) and a core (4; 104; 204; 304; 404), inside said shell (2; 102; 202; 302; 402), wherein said shell (2; 102; 202; 302; 402) and said core (4; 104; 204; 304; 404) develop axially along a longitudinal axis (X) and comprise a volume therebetween, said core (4; 104; 204; 304; 404) including a thermally conductive matrix (41; 141; 241; 341; 441) in thermal exchange relationship with said volume, said matrix housing one or more flow conduits (42; 142; 242; 342; 442) for a working fluid, said one or more flow conduits (42; 142; 242; 342; 442) being in thermal exchange relationship with said matrix (41; 141; 241; 341; 441). Moreover described herein is a corresponding solar reactor(500) and a corresponding plant (600).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to energy conversion devices and to corresponding components, in particular to devices for exploiting and converting solar energy. Background technique [0002] Current technologies based on devices for generating electrical energy from thermodynamic solar sources are struggling to take root, and thus unit manufacturing costs are far from those of a mature technology. Perhaps one of the most important figures available relates to the fact that the cost of manufacturing these devices has dropped almost tenfold in roughly two decades. [0003] Thermodynamic solar devices convert solar energy indirectly into electricity through two separate energy conversion steps. [0004] The first step involves converting solar energy into thermal energy stored in a heat carrier fluid. [0005] The second step usually involves converting thermal energy into electrical energy via a conventional thermodynamic cycle, such as an organic Rankine cycl...
