Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of radiant energy or heat collector assemblies. More particularly, it refers to methods and systems for recovering or capturing heat in the form of radiant energy and using the recovered energy for further purposes such as heating of buildings, electricity production or steam generation.
- the heat capturing device can be applied in industries such as in steel mills, metallurgy, furnaces or glass production or any other energy intensive industry with high radiant emissions.
- the European patent application EP2403668 (A2 ) discloses a heat retrieving system in which heat is retrieved via conduction and convection. This patent application uses the transportation rollers as heat exchangers.
- the patent application DE3019714 (A1 ) discloses a heat collection arrangement comprising water containing tubes. The prior art is silent on heat collection devices especially configured for capturing heat transferred by radiation. It is therefore required a technical arrangement recovering radiant energy or heat from an object or objects being at temperature higher than 500° C.
- the present application overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art and allows higher energy or heat retrieval of the heat or energy radiated by an object or group of objects.
- the described heat capturing device comprises an upper side and lateral sides connected to the upper side, said connected sides defining an energy capturing space.

- the inner energy capturing layer comprises at least one material containing structure.
- the material may be a heat transfer fluid (hereinafter referred to as fluid), for example a liquid such as silicon based thermal oil, for capturing energy.
- the material containing structure may be at least a tube having preferably a circular cross-section.
- the dimensions of the inner energy capturing layer are based, at least, on the dimensions of the at least an object in the energy capturing space and based on at least a further parameter.
- Said further parameter may be at least one of: at least one further parameter of said at least an object or at least one parameter of the inner energy capturing layer or at least one parameter of the energy capturing space or a combination of said further parameters.
- Said further parameter or parameters of the inner energy capturing layer may be intrinsic parameters of the surface of the inner energy capturing layer defining the energy capturing space.
- the energy insulating layer may entirely cover the intermediate energy reflecting layer, and the intermediate energy reflecting layer may entirely cover the inner energy capturing layer.
- a further plate or plates may be located at the entrance or exit of the energy capturing space for better retaining and/or reflecting the radiant heat or energy of the object or objects inside the energy capturing space.
- the plate or plates located at the entrance and/or exit of the energy capturing space may be made of a heat or energy reflecting material.

- the described layers may be different layers which may be separated from each other.
- the heat capturing device may be connected to a bottom layer or plate or surface made of either reflecting or insulating heat material.
- the parameter or parameters defining the width and the height of the inner energy capturing layer may be, for example, at least one of: the convection coefficient of the air inside the energy capturing space, the emissivity and absorptivity of at least one of the surfaces of the object, the emissivity and absorptivity of at least one of the surfaces of the inner energy capturing layer or a combination of said parameters.
- the emissivity and absorptivity of a surface are magnitudes indicating its effectiveness in emitting or absorbing (respectively) thermal radiation. Quantitatively, they are described as the ratio between the thermal radiation emitted/absorbed by a surface compared to the radiation emitted/absorbed by an ideal black body at the same temperature (which is maximum).
- the parameter or parameters defining the height and width of the heat capturing device may be based on some intrinsic properties of the objects which are to be received in the energy capturing space or transported through the energy capturing space.
- the objects can be for example a slab, billet or beam resulting from a production process such as a metallurgic production process or preferably a piece of hot glass (e.g. bottle shaped glass) produced by a glass production factory. Said production processes may serially produce objects such as slabs or hot pieces of glass, and some properties of said serially produced objects or pieces are known.
- the objects may be solid or partly solid objects.
- the objects are preferably at a temperature higher than 500° C.
- the fact that the heat capturing device of the present application allows a modular construction permits the customization of the size or dimensions of the heat capturing device or tailoring the size of the heat capturing device according to the properties of the objects, thus allowing to capture the radiated heat from the objects when the objects are partly or completely in the energy capturing space or even slightly outside the energy capturing space.
- the width and the height of the inner energy capturing layer can be selected based on said properties of the object, which implies that the width and height of the heat capturing device as a whole is selected based on at least the properties of the objects or parameters taking into consideration the properties of the object.

- the second temperature may be higher than the first temperature.
- the headers may transport the fluid from/to a fluid storage or to any other device that may reuse the recovered energy for similar or different purposes such as heating of buildings, electricity production or steam generation.

As can be seen in cases 1 to 6 (see Table 1) with the same minimum values for the dimensions of the heat capturing device the optimal solution is affected by:

- the fluid 54 ingress in the tubes 51 via the first header 52 through a first opening 55.
- the first header 52 is divided in sections 56 wherein each section is communicated to a set of tubes 51 but isolated from the contiguous sections 56 within the first header 52.
- the second header 53 is divided in sections 57 wherein each section is communicated to a set of tubes 51 but isolated from the contiguous sections 57 within the first header 53.
- the fluid 54 that enters into the first section 56a of the first header 52 circulates through the tubes 51 connected to this first section 56a until the first section 57a of the second header 53, which in turn is connected to other tubes for keeping circulating the fluid towards a second section 56 b of the first header, and so on, until the fluid reaches the last section of the first header 53 through which the fluid 54 exits the inner energy capturing layer 50 via a second opening (not shown in this figure).
- Figure 18 shows a representation of an example architecture of some tubes of the tube bundle forming the inner energy capturing layer and a representation of the corrugated intermediate energy reflecting layer.
- the distance (d1) between the centers of two consecutive tubes is 1.25 times the outside diameter of one of the tubes. All tubes have the same diameter.
- the minimal distance (d2) between the outer surfaces of two consecutives tubes is 0.25 times the diameter of one of the tubes. Due to the particular pattern of the corrugated intermediate energy reflecting layer the radiation going through the existing space between tube is reflected in the reflective corrugated surface and directed back to the collecting tubes.
