The so-called Centrifugal Particle Receiver (CentRec) uses small bauxite particles as absorber, heat transfer and storage media at the same time. Due to advantageous optical and thermal properties, the particles can be heated up to 1000 degree Celsius without sintering in the storage. High thermal efficiencies at high outlet temperatures are expected indicating a promising way for cost reduction in solar power tower applications. A prototype in laboratory scale was designed, built and tested in order to demonstrate the feasibility and potential of the proposed concept. The expected simple control capability of the receiver could be verified and the target temperature of 900 degree Celsius successfully demonstrated. A thermal efficiency of \u0026gt;; 85 % is calculated by a validated corresponding numerical model for a particle outlet temperature of 900 degree Celsius and a design power of 1 MW\/m 2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wei Wu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3832538828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832538828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.70w x 0.50d","brand":"Wei Wu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450131951871,"sku":"9783832538828","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2832f7c4-bd57-4137-b883-d6a2b70f6748.jpg?v=1777266348","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-centrifugal-particle-receiver-for-wei-wu-9783832538828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
