Gas-phase solar receivers use atmospheric or pressurised gas as their heat transfer fluid
(HTF). The ideal gas-phase receiver would provide high thermal efficiency and high HTF …

Gas-phase solar receivers can operate over a wider temperature range than receivers which
use conventional liquid heat transfer media. However, due to their relatively poor heat …

The bladed receiver is a promising concept for improving performance of traditional external
receivers in commercial-scale central tower systems due to its light-trapping benefits for …

Bladed receivers use conventional receiver tube-banks rearranged into bladed structures to
increase thermal and optical retention. This paper explores the impact of the blades upon …

In the process of a complete transition to renewable energies, concentrated solar
thermal/power is considered a necessary part of a diverse energy portfolio according to IEA …
