Experimental Investigation of Direct Steam Generation Dynamics in Solar Fresnel Collectors

Direct steam generation (DSG) is a technology used to produce steam from a solar concentrated thermal plant directly in the solar field without the use of an intermediate steam generator. This technology is attractive due to economic considerations but is technically challenging. In this brief, the...

Zusammenfassung:Direct steam generation (DSG) is a technology used to produce steam from a solar concentrated thermal plant directly in the solar field without the use of an intermediate steam generator. This technology is attractive due to economic considerations but is technically challenging. In this brief, the results of an experimental study of DSG dynamics are presented. The study provides a detailed description of these effects supported by experimental results and suggests ways to coping with them.
