In a molten salt internal film central receiver, salt flows down the back side of a stainless steel panel that is heated on the front side by concentrated sunlight. A prototype receiver is undergoing testing at the Plataforma Solar de Almeria in Spain under a joint US-Spanish project. This type of receiver is an alternative to salt-in-tube receivers. The experimental system and the status of testing are described in this paper.
