ABSTRACT:
A porous surface receiver and concentrator of reflected solar radiation. The receiver is part of a moderately or strongly concentrating solar collector such as a solar power tower system. In the latter, radiation is reflected by a plurality of heliostats disposed about the tower on which the receiver is mounted. The solar radiation is reflected onto the central heat transfer receiver where the energy is transferred to a working fluid. Atmospheric air is used as the working fluid. The air is drawn through the porous matrix of the receiver surface and is heated to a high temperature in the range of 500.degree. to 1500.degree. C. with only a moderate pressure drop. The radiant heat flux input may be hundreds of times the incoming solar flux to the earth surface. The hot air can be used in a thermal storage system, or directly in a heat exchanger, or the like.
