Experimental Study on Heat Losses from Receiver of Solar Thermal Power

Experimental data are presented which describe heat losses of cavity type receiver in wind tunnel. Experiments are conducted at various conditions such as the heater temperature in cavity changes from 300, 400, and 500 oC, wind speed in tunnel from 2 to 8 m/s, and four different tilt angle of 30, 50, 70, 90o. The power consumption including temperature, voltage and current for each experimental conditions are measured and stored in data logger at everyone second interval. The experimental results show that heat losses increase with increasing wind speed and with tilt angle. However, heat losses for the tilt angle of 70 and 90o is almost same at each heater temperature. In addition, the effects of natural convection in combined convection heat losses vary in according to the tilt angle.
