The optimal internal receiver geometry for high temperature solar fuels

|
By Susan Kraemer 
| SolarPACES
Concentrated solar power researchers have long known that porous ceramic “volumetric” receivers can deliver very high temperatures. What a new study from Cranfield University shows is that the internal shape of the cavity impacts heat retention. After testing different polygonal internal geometries, they found that the nine‑sided design – the nonagon – holds onto more of the sun’s energy than the simpler internal geometries, pushing outlet air temperatures above 1,500 K.

Source: CSPPlaza On May 19th, the Hami Molten Salt Tower 50MW CSP Project generated 1,167.6 MWh in a single day, its all-time highest since commencing operation, according to offtaker Shenergy Power. China Solar Thermal Alliance had noted a previous one-day record of 1.0315 MWh in 2024. Hami was an early adopter of the SolarPACES Technology Award-winning Stellio heliostat invented by sbp Sonne.
