Abstract
The present invention relates to a thermal vector system for solar concentration plants, in particular for parabolic trough solar concentration plants, both for industrial and domestic use, comprising a solid state thermal vector. A preferred solar concentration plant comprises one or more solar collectors (1), an heat exchanger (3-5), a heat accumulator (2) and a connecting pipe circuit, in which a solid state thermal vector is pushed through said circuit by mechanical means (6).
Claims12
A parabolic through solar concentration plant comprising one or more solar collectors each including a parabolic trough, a heat exchanger, a heat accumulator and a connecting pipe circuit, wherein said connecting pipe circuit including therein a solid state thermal vector in grain or particle form for operating at a temperature of at least 500° C. within said connecting pipe circuit, said grains or particles comprise at least clinker material, said clinker material comprising calcium silicates and calcium aluminates, the clinker material having a particle size ranging from 100 μm to 0.5 cm, and wherein said connecting pipe circuit is adapted with mechanical means to push said solid state thermal vector through said connecting pipe circuit.
