Description
A novel cavity type solar receiver for solar trough thermal plants was developed. Previously, the theory for such a receiver was developed, and a simulation written based on it. Some results from the simulation were compared to an indoors experiment to encouraging agreement. In this talk, I present a version that was developed for a ~20kW solar plant and is tested in the open using an in-house designed solar setup. Engineering and economic aspects of the solar plant will be discussed as well as some results related to the thermal properties.
