High temperature solar receiver
This patent describes a radiation receiver comprising: a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and an open aperture; means for inducing flow of a main airstream having entrained particles from the inlet to the outlet in the housing; and means for inducing flow of an auxiliary airstream in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the main airstream and being substantially free from particles through the housing intermediate the aperture and main airstream, whereby the main airstream may be heated by orienting the aperture toward a source of focused solar radiation and mixing of the heated main airstream with the ambient through the aperture in the housing is inhibited by the auxiliary airstream.
