Abstract

In the solar central tower systems, receivers that allow the absorption of concentrated sunlight are used to transfer thermal energy into a fluid. In the design of solar thermal receivers, several aspects are to be considered: reliability of the material surface, efficient heat transfer and the reduction of thermal losses. Therefore, volumetric thermal receivers have great potential for the production of thermal energy and have become an attractive option. This study numerically analyzes behavior of temperature and velocity profiles in a volumetric receiver. Temperature and velocity fields in several depths of the receiver are analyzed; this study provides preliminary results useful for a future experimental study. A parametric study of effects such a variation of velocity at the inlet of the receptor and two different boundary conditions are presented.

Abstract

The  evaluation  of  the  first  prototypes  of  radiative  flux  homogenizers,  for  concentration photovoltaic applications,  were  tested  in  the  High  Flux  Solar Furnace (HoSIER),  at  the Institute  of  Renewable  Energies  at  UNAM. As  a  part  of the  design, homogenizers  were modeled and simulated with distinct geometries for a variable length, through the ray trace software  SOLTRACE.  A  square  were  selected  as  a  transversal  area  of  the  homogenizer, since it presents the best uniformity value in the distribution of radiative flux intensities for a target placed at 1m of distance from the focus. In order to corroborate the computational experiments two hollows homogenizers with square transversal area sand reflective interior walls were  built, one  with  front  surface  mirrors  and  the  other  with  back  surface  mirrors both of 50 cm of length, and they were characterized taking pictures with a CCD camera, by scanning the length.

Abstract

In this work we show the analytical study of radiative heat exchange in a proposed calorimeter to measure the properties of absorptivity and emissivity of materials under high temperatures produced by the highly concentrated solar radiation of the Solar Oven at Renewable Energy Institute of UNAM (HoSIER), that allowed us to detect the need for a modification to the design of the prototype in order to get proper measurements.

Abstract

Experimental results of the campaign to determine a method for measuring the temperature of a surface exposed to the highly concentrated radiation at HoSIERthrough three different conditions: quartz window, PYREX® window and without window are presented in this paper. It seeks to achieve a method for measuring the surface temperature without any thermocouple contact, preventing its overestimation due to the effect of the surface's radiosity itself.This methodology is able to determine a correction factor of the emissivity (FCε) depending on the incident temperature. In addition to determine the temperature difference overestimated due to the component of the radiation reflected by the surface.
