Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD TO MAP HEAT FLUX FOR SOLAR CONCENTRATORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/093936
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention proposes a system and method for mapping the heat flux incident on a surface of the receiver of a solar concentrator. The flux mapping system disclosed analyses temperature profile indicated by high accuracy thermocouples to map the flux. The system uses the temperature profile along a metal strip to determine the heat flux. This method and system can be used for flux mapping of point focus and line focus concentrating solar collectors. The flux mapping system proposed in the present invention is easy to handle, easy to manufacture and has simple calibration techniques. The present invention is robust, cheaper and requires very low maintenance.
