Abstract |
|
A cylindrical solid aluminum receiver of 200 mm diameter integrated with phase change material (PCM) and thermic fluid is proposed for parabolic dish concentrated solar collector. The objective is to store the concentrated solar radiation at the point-focus to minimizing the heat transport losses to the storage. Cylindrical cavities of 40 mm diameter are provided inside the receiver to accommodate the oil and PCM. The incident solar energy is stored as combined sensible and latent heat in the receiver. The aluminum and thermic oil stores energy as sensible heat and PCM stores as latent heat. The test was carried out with the receiver with and without storage in the real-time environment. The total energy stored when the receiver reaches 300ï‚° Celsius is around 6 MJ. The receiver with PCM storage serves for longer duration than the receiver without storage. |
