Title:
BURNER/EMITTER/RECUPERATOR DESIGN FOR A THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRIC GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999008296
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A thermally integrated burner/emitter/recuperator (BER) (100) for a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) electric generator achieves improved energy efficiency using either liquid or gaseous fuels (12). A mixed ceramic and metallic alloy heat exchanger, together with a high temperature emitter (150), achieves increased energy density in a compact and lightweight assembly.
