Solar heated-air cavity receiver development (SHARE). Final report

Technical Report · Mon Nov 30 23:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5352985

Jarvinen, P O

An advanced ceramic dome cavity receiver is discussed which heats pressurized gas to temperatures in the range from 1800/sup 0/F (1000/sup 0/C) to 2400/sup 0/F (1300/sup 0/C) for use in solar Brayton power systems of the dispersed receiver/dish or central receiver type. Optical, heat transfer, structural, and ceramic material design aspects of the unique receiver are reported and the development and experimental demonstration of a high-temperature seal between the pressurized gas and the high-temperature silicon carbide dome material is described.
