ABSTRACT:
A combustion/emitter/regeneration process capable of operating at high temperature for sustained periods of time, that includes flowing reactants including fuel and air to a combustion zone; adding recuperated heat to at least two of the reactants flowing to the zone; combusting the reactants at the zone to produce combustion products at high temperature to heat a radiant emitter; extracting heat from the combustion products for return to the at least two of the reactants as the recuperated heat; removing the products of combustion at reduced temperature; and providing a porous bed which also functions as radiant emitter at and to which the extracted heat is transferred; rotating the bed about a rotation axis; and radiating light from the rotary bed and converting the radiated light into photovoltaic produced electricity.
