Research on the Heat Transfer Characteristics of Receiver in Designed Solar Direct Steam Generation System

Abstract:

The direct steam generation (DSG) with parabolic collector is an attractive option regarding the economic improvement of parabolic technology for solar thermal electricity generation system. On the basis of theory analysis of flow and heat transfer mechanism in the DSG system, this paper presents the numerical simulation results of one 650 meters loop under different direct normal irradiation values, performance parameters such as water temperature, heat transfer coefficient and dryness of the fluid in the absorber pipe are obtained in the simulation results. This paper shows that fluids parameters are susceptible to the solar direct normal values , high heat transfer efficiency and sensitive control system are the key to ensure DSG systems stable operation.
