Advanced heat receiver conceptual design study. Final report, July 1986-November 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7023503
;

A study was conducted to generate and evaluate advanced solar heat receiver concepts for orbital application with Brayton and Stirling engines approximately 7 kWe in size. The resulting designs have thermal storage capability, and will be lighter, smaller, and/or more efficient than baseline systems such as the configuration used for the Brayton solar receiver currently under development by Garrett AiResearch for the NASA Space Station.
