Abstract

The centrifugal particle receiver (CentRec®) developed by DLR for high-temperature solar applications, previously tested on sun in a 500 kWth prototype at the solar tower in Jülich was further developed and tested at slightly smaller scale of 300 kWth. The test with artificial sunlight provided more stationary and controllable boundary conditions. Outlet temperature of 681 °C was reached at an irradiating input power of 214 kW. The performance was determined with particle mass flow and temperature measurement systems. The data confirms the thermodynamic model for this receiver, indicating an extrapolated performance of 81% at nominal conditions.
