Limits of the System Performance
The fixed position of the mirror arrays in the heliostat field is a limiting factor for the optical performance. Each single mirror has the same characteristics as a classical heliostat. …
Results and Discussion
An analysis was conducted on the operation of an ISAHP with a varying temperature input. The mains water temperature, and therefore initial storage tank temperature was approximately 20°C. Figure 3 …
Case Study
The basic data of some solar power tower plant in China are as follows, Plant Location: 115.97° east, 40.47° north. Tower Height: 100m, Ht = 85m, Tower Width: 10m. Distance …
Test bench description
An experimental study is carried out on a prototype of ORC working with HCFC-123. The scroll expander is originally an oil-free open-drive air scroll compressor, adapted to operate in reverse. …
Collector design
Once the geometrical relations of the reflector were established the design process started. It is difficult to divide this process into separate tasks because each particular solution strongly influences the …
Fresh water experiments
In order to evaluate the performance of the AGMD modules, distillate production of each module was measured as a function of both hot and cold inlet flows and temperatures. Due …
System integration
Following the procedure recommended as a result from IEA Task 33/IV, each potential application for solar process heat systems should initially be analysed to identify the potential for technological optimization …
