Definitions
- This invention is in the solar energy field and in particular the collection of concentrated solar radiation for the purpose of driving a thermo-chemical, thermo-mechanical or other thermal process.
- thermo-mechanical as in sterling engine or steam turbine power generation systems
- thermo-chemical reforming thermal- cracking
- process heating general heating, materials processing etc.
- Solar collection systems are usually placed in locations where sunlight is readily available.
- mirrors either flat-segmented, or curved, are arranged in a parabolic or trough configuration to concentrate incident solar radiation on a predefined target. Tracking control systems or preprogrammed algorithms maintain the required optical geometry by moving the mirror as the sun transverses the sky.
- the target is usually some form of cavity or shallow dish into which the concentrated light cone is directed.
- the cavity is commonly disposed with a plurality of tubes into which a coolant is flowed to convey absorbed heat to the working process.
- Some cavity designs as in United States patent # 5,113,659 incorporate a series of hot shoes inside a cavity to conduct thermal energy to a plurality of free piston sterling generators.
- the image fireball is employed to directly heat catalyst beds in transparent process tubes often resulting in hotspots, causing catalyst sintering and poor process temperature control.
- the spot size and shape must be tailored for the heat exchange and cavity parameters.
- the fireball is often defocused or multiple fireball images are skewed to provide a homogenous heat zone into which the process heat exchange tubes are displaced. This results in a less than optimal focus of the solar fireball on the target and an increase in radiation losses due to the enlarged solar image size with the accompanying increased area of hot radiating surfaces.
- the required process temperatures dictate the collection means, be it trough reflectors for low-grade heat applications or parabolic concentrators for higher temperatures. Steam systems may be operated at moderate temperatures of less than 800 K, whereas thermochemistry in an effort to obtain high equilibrium constants in some endothermic reactions may require substantially higher temperatures.
- the invention provides an apparatus for collecting heat from a solar concentrator and for transferring the collected heat to a heat sink.
- the apparatus comprises an isothermal body defining an elongated cavity with a substantially circular opening having a diameter substantially equal to a diameter of a focus of the solar collector, the cavity having reflective walls such that solar rays contacting the walls are substantially reflected.
- the isothermal body is adapted to be oriented such that the circular opening is located substantially at the focus of the solar collector and substantially perpendicular to a principal axis of the solar concentrator, and such that an axis of the cavity is substantially aligned with the principal axis of the solar concentrator.
- the isothermal body is adapted for thermal connection to the heat sink such that heat generated in the isothermal body is absorbed by the heat sink.
- the length of the cavity is sufficient to absorb a desired proportion of the energy in the solar rays entering the cavity.
- the invention provides an apparatus for collecting heat from the sun and for transferring the collected heat to a heat sink.
- the apparatus comprises a solar concentrator;, and an isothermal body defining an elongated substantially cylindrical cavity with a substantially circular opening having a diameter substantially equal to a diameter of a focus of the solar collector, the cavity having reflective walls such that solar rays contacting the walls are substantially reflected.
- the isothermal body is oriented such that the circular opening is located substantially at the focus of the solar collector and substantially perpendicular to a principal axis of the solar concentrator, and such that an axis of the cavity is substantially aligned with the principal axis of the solar concentrator.
- the isothermal body is adapted for thermal connection to the heat sink such that heat generated in the isothermal body is absorbed by the heat sink and a length of the cavity is about 5 to 9 times the diameter of the circular opening.
- the invention provides a method for collecting heat from a solar concentrator for transfer to a heat sink.
- the method comprises providing an isothermal body defining an elongated cavity with a substantially circular opening having a diameter substantially equal to a diameter of a focus of the solar collector, the cavity having reflective walls such that solar rays contacting the walls are substantially reflected; orienting the isothermal body such that the circular opening is located substantially at a focus of the solar collector and substantially perpendicular to a principal axis of the solar concentrator, and such that an axis of the cavity is substantially aligned with the principal axis of the solar concentrator; reflecting each solar ray that contacts a reflective wall from a first contact point on the reflective wall to a second point on a reflective wall and to a plurality of subsequent contact points on the reflective walls wherein a portion of the energy contained in each solar ray is absorbed by a reflective wall at each contact point until a desired proportion of the energy contained in the solar ray is absorbed by the reflective walls; thermally
- the solar radiation is converted to heat by multiple internal reflections within the reflective cavity disposed in the isothermal body, and this cavity receiver assembly is thermally coupled to the required heat process or heat sink, the isothermal body has significant mass to integrate thermal fluctuations and provide the coupled process with a substantially consistent temperature regardless of minor insulation or fireball image deviations.
- the cavity opening is positioned at the focus of a parabolic solar concentrator on the principal optical axis such that the light cone is at its minimum diameter at the cavity entrance.
- the mechanical configuration resembles a thick walled hollow cylinder clad with or constructed wholly of a chemically reducible material such as, but not limited to, copper.
- the isothermal body is thermally coupled to a heat process while the open end of the cavity intercepts the light cone at the foci from a solar concentrator. Solar flux enters the cavity and undergoes multiple internal reflections while evenly dispersing and gradually reducing the radiation to heat which is absorbed by the isothermal body of the receiver and conducted to the process. Reflectivity of the cavity walls is maintained by an inert or reducing local atmosphere.

- FIG. 11 is an end view of the thermally conductive body of FIG 10 illustrating the internal ray path.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate a prior art system of solar heat collection driving a heat engine and electric generator combination.
- Solar heat collection systems are used to provide heat for a wide variety of purposes in which the collected heat is transferred to a heat sink, such as the illustrated heat engine, that essentially consumes the heat.
- the operating temperature will vary depending on the purpose, and the system will be designed such that all the collected heat will be drawn away by the heat sink once the operating temperature is at the desired temperature which can vary from about 100°C to 1400°C ormore.
- solar radiation 1 is reflected by the solar concentrator 2 in solar rays 7 of a solar beam and focused on a target 8 positioned in a cavity 11 at the focus of a parabolic concentrator 2.
- the target 8 consists of a plurality of metal tubes 3 arranged symmetrically about the principal axis 9 of the parabolic solar concentrator 2 to intercept the light cone.
- a quartz window 5 covers the target 8.
- a coolant flows through the tubes 3 to remove heat generated by the absorption of radiation on the tubes 3 and transfer this heat to the heat engine 4 by conduction.
- the mechanical energy converted by the heat engine in this example is communicated by a shaft 10 to a generator 6, which converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy.
- the flux distribution directed at target 8 conforms to an annular ring as shown in FIG. 3 by skewing multiple fireball images on the tubular heat exchange structure in an effort to reduce solar flux intensity levels to the heat exchange design limits.
- curves W graphically illustrate the resulting radial flux distribution at the target 8 caused by the superimposed and skewed fireball images of FIG. 3.
- an approximately circular portion in the middle of the target is substantially not exposed to the solar rays 7.
- the concentration of the solar beam 7 on the target 8 is thus reduced by increasing the radiated target area.
- Solar concentration is typically measured in units of "suns".
- One sun represents the energy incident upon a unit area normal to the sun, which is about 1000 watts per square meter (W/m 2 ).
- the heat exchange tubing 3 will not withstand the heat developed at that concentration.
- the maximum safe solar concentration in this example is limited to about 877 suns or 877000 W/m 2 .
- the mechanism is arranged, by skewing the parabolic concentrator 2 for example, so that a larger area is radiated, and the solar concentration is thus reduced, to effect the required thermal transfer while maintaining the temperature of the exchanger within design limits.
- the magnitude of energy loss at an emissivity of 1.0 due to target re-radiation is substantially affected by the process temperature and the radiant area of the target.
- the diameter of the target 8 would be about 15 inches and the solar concentration is 877 suns on a target area of about 177 square inches (including the circular portion in the middle of the target that is substantially not exposed to the solar rays 7).
- the target can have a diameter of about 6 inches so that the solar concentration is 5500 suns on a target area of about 28 square inches at the focus.
- the target area is reduced by a factor of about 6.25 and the concentration correspondingly increases by a factor of 6.25.
- the radiation loss can be reduced from 13% to 2% where the process operating temperature is 850 0 C.
- the radiation losses for the larger target increase dramatically as the operating temperature rises, while the radiation losses for the smaller target increase much less.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of an apparatus of the invention for collecting heat from a solar concentrator and for transferring the collected heat to a heat sink.
- the heat sink in the illustrated embodiment is a Sterling engine-generator similar in design to that of FIGS. 1 and 2 with a collection apparatus of the present invention.
- solar radiation 1 concentrated by a parabolic solar concentrator 2 is sharply focused to a single fireball image at the entrance opening of elongated cavity 13.
- the solar concentration is greatest, and the diameter of the target, the entrance opening of the cavity 13, is smallest.
- curve S graphically illustrates the resulting radial flux distribution at the target 8 with a single fireball image.
- the opening of the cavity 13 is circular having a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the focus of the solar collector 2.
- the cavity 13 is oriented such that the circular opening is located at the focus of the solar collector 2 and substantially perpendicular to a principal axis 9 of the solar concentrator 2, and such that an axis of the cavity 13 is substantially aligned with the principal axis 9.
- the cavity 13 is defined in an isothermal body 12 made from stainless steel, or the like.
- the cavity 13 is lined with a metal liner 32 such as copper exhibiting good reflectivity in a chemically reduced state and excellent thermal conductivity.
- the isothermal body 12 may be constructed wholly of a chemically reducible and thermally conductive material such as but not limited to copper.
- the cavity 13 has reflective walls such that solar rays 7 contacting the walls are substantially reflected. Multiple reflections of the light beam within the cavity 13 transform the energy from the solar rays to heat in the walls of the cavity 13 that is transferred by conduction to the isothermal body 12 increasing its temperature and making this heat energy available to the heat sink process.
- the effective area of the receiver is increased from the area of the opening of the cavity to the area of the walls of the cavity. Since the cavity is elongated compared to the opening of the cavity, the proportion of solar rays that reflect from wall to wall and then out through the opening before being absorbed is small.
- the proportion of solar energy absorbed can be increased by increasing the length of the cavity. Total absorption of the beam is unrealistic, however if the length of the reflective cavity 13 is about 5 - 9 times the diameter of the cavity entrance opening the length of the cavity will generally be sufficient to absorb a desired significant proportion of the solar rays entering the cavity. Tests have shown a very good approximation of a blackbody absorber is realized with minimal blackbody area where the length of the reflective cavity 13 is about 7 times the diameter of the cavity entrance opening. With such a configuration about 95% of the solar energy is absorbed.
- FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate the isothermal body 12 and cavity 13 of the present invention excluding any heat extraction means where a single ray path of the solar beam 7 is traced through the entrance 20 of the cavity 13 and encounters the reflective wall of the cavity 13.
- the solar ray 7 or photon in this example undergoes many reflections before finally being absorbed by the cavity wall where its energy is transferred to the isothermal body 12 thus increasing its internal energy or temperature.
- the path followed by the photon in FIGS. 10 and 11 is but one of a myriad of paths possible, depicted for illustrative purposes only. Focused light energy with a Gaussian beam profile directed at the cavity entrance would follow every possible path within the cavity evenly distributing the heat therein.
- a shield 30 of a similar reducible material such as copper as illustrated in Figs. 6 - 9, to cover this or any exposed face of the isothermal body 12 between the opening of the cavity and the outer edges of the isothermal body in an effort to reduce the thermal radiation loss by reducing surface emissivity.
- Chemically reducible and similar shields can be used to cover any exposed components at the process temperature.
- FIG 7 shows a superheating arrangement used for steam or working fluids of a heat process.
- Solar energy as described in the aforementioned is absorbed by the mechanism of multiple internal cavity reflections and absorption, which heat the isothermal body 12 to the process temperature required.
- the working fluid enters the receiver at 18 and is circulated cyclically through passages 17, symmetrically located in the isothermal body 12, absorbing energy from the body and exiting to the required process at 19.
- a sealed enclosure 16 which serves to contain a reducing atmosphere 15 as well as any required insulation.
- a window 5 allows entry of solar radiation to the reflective cavity 13 and also provides a gas seal for the enclosure 16.
- the enclosure 16 is filled with a reducing atmosphere, such as 5% hydrogen and the balance a filler gas that is inert at the operating temperature. Nitrogen is a good choice since it is cheap and inert at higher operating temperatures. Other inert gases such as argon, etc, could be used as well.
- the reducing atmosphere maintains the reducible metals, for example oxygen free high conductivity (OFHC) copper or other like metallic compounds, in their required metallic form. In this state, the reflective surfaces of the liner 32 of reflective cavity 13 and shield 30 maintain a low emissivity thereby fulfilling their function in this invention.
- OFHC oxygen free high conductivity
- the enclosure 16 containing the reducing gas is insulated.
- thermal expansion of the metal cavity liner 32 forming the metallic walls of the cavity 13 causes high compression forces against the interior walls of the isothermal body 12. Intimate contact between these components decreases the thermal resistance of the metallic boundary between the liner 32 and the isothermal body 12 enhancing thermal transfer to the heat receiving isothermal body 12, increasing the maximum rated flux density of the cavity by making the cavity liner and receiver assembly substantially isothermal.
- FIGS 8 and 9 illustrate a thermo-chemical solar reactor where concentrated solar beam 7 enters a gas sealed enclosure 16 through a quartz window 5 where, through multiple cavity reflections, the energy of the solar beam 7 is absorbed by the isothermal body 12 and converted to heat.
- Reactant gas is admitted to the feed line 22 and preheat channel 24.
- the hot reactant on exiting the preheater channels 24, enters the reaction beds 25 within the isothermal body where a catalyzed endothermic reaction occurs.
- the products in these examples exit the isothermal body at tubes 23.
- FIGS. 6 through 9 Other embodiments of the examples depicted in FIGS. 6 through 9 would include a solid isothermal body constructed of a reducible metal or ceramic thereby eliminating the need for a reflective cavity liner or shield. Other means of inhibiting oxidation of these key components such as other reducing gasses or varying concentrations of the prescribed gasses are contemplated within the scope of this invention.
- the apparatus of the present invention is suitable for use with higher operating temperatures where radiation losses represent a significant portion of collected solar energy. At lower operating temperatures, the radiation losses are less significant and use of the apparatus will not typically provide significant benefits.
