CPC-Collector for High Temperatures

Objective



Solar production of process heat in the temperature range of up to 150(C holds a very high potential to substitute high amounts or fossil energy. Many demonstration projects in solar building climatisation or solar water desalination arecurrently under evaluation. In these projects, the up to now only available solar collectors suitable for the desired high temperatures are vacuum tybe collectors. However, there are a range of possible innovations to improve the efficiency oj flat plate collectors, avoiding the expensive vaccum technology.* concentration of the radiation using non-imaging reflectors (CPC mirrors)* highly transmittive convection barriers
* highly selective absorber coatings
First approximations show, that a combination of these techiques yields efficiecies for non-vacuum sonar collectors higher than 50% for temperatures up to 150(C. In the proposed project, these technical innovations will be developed and adapted to each other. The aim is to develop a high temperature solar collector that allows by fa lower production costs than evacuater solar collectors.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
