Abstract

A radiant energy heat exchanger for use in a solar energy power plant comprises one or more banks of heat exchange ducts (60), the or each bank of ducts having an inlet and an outlet manifold (62, 64) to receive and discharge respectively the medium to be heated, the ducts all being curved along their length between the inlet and outlet manifolds so that the amount of radiant energy falling on the ducts per unit area of duct decreases between the inlet and outlet manifolds at such a rate that the duct temperature is substantially constant between the manifolds whilst the temperature of the medium being heated increases, the radiant energy falling on the ducts being substantially unidirectional. <IMAGE>
