Concentrated solar technology offers a promising solution for converting solar energy into high-temperature thermal energy, unlocking new opportunities for energy-intensive industrial processes. The Scheffler reflector, with its ability to maintain a constant focal point, is highly versatile and can be applied to a wide range of applications, from basic heat generation to advanced industrial operations. In this study, a detailed design and numerical thermal analysis were conducted to optimize the system and achieve a temperature of 1000 ℃, essential for various industrial applications. This temperature significantly reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. The thermal analysis demonstrated that a reflective aperture area of 19 m², exposed to a solar flux of 800 W/m², can generate a sufficient thermal power density on a cylindrical copper receiver with a base area of 0.16 m², achieving a temperature of 1000 °C.

摘要

Concentrated solar technology offers a promising solution for converting solar energy into high-temperature thermal energy, unlocking new opportunities for energy-intensive industrial processes. The Scheffler reflector, with its ability to maintain a constant focal point, is highly versatile and can be applied to a wide range of applications, from basic heat generation to advanced industrial operations. In this study, a detailed design and numerical thermal analysis were conducted to optimize the system and achieve a temperature of 1000 ℃, essential for various industrial applications. This temperature significantly reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. The thermal analysis demonstrated that a reflective aperture area of 19 m², exposed to a solar flux of 800 W/m², can generate a sufficient thermal power density on a cylindrical copper receiver with a base area of 0.16 m², achieving a temperature of 1000 °C.
