Kurzfassung
Concentrating solar thermal technologies are drawing more attention since it can substantially contribute to a carbon-neutral society. The solar receivers are essential in this technology to convert solar energy efficiently into thermal energy. Moreover, high-temperature steam generation is the promising application for concentrated solar power plants or industirial processes. Therefore, the direct solar steam generator has been gaining more attention due to its advantages of low operation and maintenance costs. Most solar steam generator designs consist of a tube with helical configuration because of its high heat exchange performance and compactness. However, only few studies address solar steam generators with conical helical tubes. Thus, both experimental and simulation data of this design are scarce. This paper shows the successful development and experimental testing of a solar steam generator with a conical helical tube. The experimental results proved that the developed solar steam generator can produce high-temperature steam of 600 ◦C at an inlet pressure and mass flow rate of 150–200 kPa and 2.5 kg/h, respectively. The overall calculated energy efficiency (thermal and optical efficiency) was 60–62%. In addition, a coupled 1D-3D numerical model was implemented to analyze the solar steam gen- erator’s performance. The model consists of a 3D cavity heat transfer model and a 1D two-phase fluid flow model. The numerical analysis demonstrated the ideal generator’s performance (energy efficiency of 68–69%) and the great impact of convection in the heat losses (50% of the total energy losses). Although more research of the convection is required, the presented results provide a basis for designing further, upscaled solar steam generators employing conical helical tubes.
