Solar-powered steam generator

The steam generator has a volumetric air heater (1), with an absorber (20) receiving concentrated solar radiation, followed by the steam generator (4), with a fan (6) used to circulate air through the air heater and the steam generator. The air heater, steam generator and fan are housed in a tower.A...

More Information
Summary:The steam generator has a volumetric air heater (1), with an absorber (20) receiving concentrated solar radiation, followed by the steam generator (4), with a fan (6) used to circulate air through the air heater and the steam generator. The air heater, steam generator and fan are housed in a tower.At least part of the air on the output side of the air heater is recirculated, the air heater divided in the peripheral direction into a number of sectors (21a), each with separate mass flow regulation (24).
