Particle-based Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems most often utilize the state-of-the art slide gate mechanism for particle flow control. The slide-gate was found to have a sensitivity of 0.354 g/s-mm, a measure of mass flow rate over actuation position [1]. Particle-based CSP developers have noted that the slide gate is conducive to particle lodging, leaking, and difficulty actuating under particle pressure as well as differential expansion of the gate from thermal cycling. The goal of this work is to design, develop and test a novel particle flow control device that can operate without any hindrance from these shortcomings.
