Abstract
Concentrated Solar Power System (CSP) is the most proven technology for the solar energy
technology. The compact Fresnel Linear Reflector takes the concept of trough design and
enhance the efficiency and reduce the cost with a set of rows, flattening the parabolic
reflectors into flat mirrors. With this change, the mirrors are able to avoid the thermal oil used
in traditional receiver technology, the concentrated sun light is then used directly to heat
water, produce the superheated steam and improve the thermal efficiency. Since the efficiency
for the solar power system is extremely important, it would be analyzed through the heat loss
happens at the light absorber, with the adjusting cavity angles cavity depth and the insulation
thickness, heat loss would be analyzed for obtaining the most efficient configuration for the
technology of CSP.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Compact Fresnel Linear Reflector
Concentrated solar power (CSP) is one of the most important candidate for providing the
majority of the energy source because of its cost-effective electricity technologies and its
potential for further technology improvements. The Compact Fresnel Linear Reflector is the
innovative design which is suitable for the large-scale solar thermal energy collection but also
efficiently uses the available power plant area, further reducing the cost with the low-cost
materials([3] Edkins et al). In traditional Fresnel Linear Reflector, there is only one absorber,
reflectors concentrate the sun light all to the only one linear system. For this design, it contains
many optical losses, especially the shading loss, with its geometric configuration that produces
the limits. With the Compact Fresnel Linear Reflector, its design system contains at least two
absorbers, which absorbs reflected sun light from a series of mirror that are put into different
configuration, the mirrors placed on the outside of the two absorbers maintain the same
configuration as the traditional Fresnel Linear Reflector, but for the mirrors sit between two
absorbers, each mirror faces to the opposite direction as to the adjacent one so that it reduces
the shading loss and enhance the optical efficiency ([10] Pye, John D et al).
1.2 Direct Steam Generation
For most of the innovative design of the Compact Fresnel Linear Reflector, it uses the
technology of direct steam generation to do the heat conversion. The basic idea of the Direct
Steam Generation is heating the water directly and generating steam from it without going
through from various energy mechanisms and transitions. Unlike the most common chosen
heat transfer fluids (HTF), the synthetic thermal oil or the molten salt; the direct steam
generation uses water as the heat transfer fluid and directly generates the steam with a more
simplified model by eliminating the complex heat exchanger component. With the usage of the
synthetic thermal oil or the molten salt, the maximum temperature the system can reach is
around 400 Celsius. With the application of direct steam generation, it is able to exceed the
limited temperature and reaches up to 550 Celsius ([1] Alguacil, M. et al). With this, the direct
steam generation enhances the efficiency by increasing the steam temperature, and avoids the
environmental risk that the traditional HTF can have.
2. DATA COLLECTION
2.1 Heat Transfer and Heat Loss on the Receiver
For the solar power collectors, each collector contains a concentrator and a receiver.
Two main types of concentrators are the nonimaging concentrator or the focusing
concentrator, and the two main types of receivers are the refracting lens type or the reflecting
mirror type. Therefore the performance for each solar collector is determined by two
parameter, the concentration and the acceptance angle ([14] Vieira, 2005).
![Page 3: Absorber Technology for Concentrated Solar Power System](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022200/58a3e6ac1a28ab272e8b4a3d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

In order to analyze the heat transfer and heat loss, the design of the receiver is really
important, different factors will result in different effects on each design. The choice of the type
of receiver the concentrated power system was made of would determine the analysis for the
heat loss. There are two types of receiver designs, which later receiver designs deviate from
them but still sustain those fundamental concepts from the formers. These two types are the
Heat Loss from Linear, Omnidirectional Receiver and the Heat Loss from Cavity Receiver.
Furthermore, sizing the receiver will also alter different heat loss for the receiver, finding the
optimal receiver size is crucial to the design of the receiver. ([13] Stine, William B. et al). The
fundamental calculation is conducted by including the heat loss through convection and the
heat loss through the radiation:
ππππ π ,πΜ = βππ΄π(ππ β ππ) + ππ΅πππΉπππ΄π(ππ

4 β ππ 4) πΆππ£ππ‘π¦ π πππππ£πππ
In this paper, since the focus is on the Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector, the heat loss
analysis would deviate from the fundamental ones, and follows the experimental model
performed by Reynolds and Jance at University of New South Wales ([6] Jance et al, 2000) and
later the calculation introduced by Pye from the same school ([9] Pye et al, 2003).
Instead of using a flat plate absorber, this model of Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector
uses the multi-tube solar collector structure that within the trapezoid absorber, there are
several numbers of the cylindrical absorber side-by-side arranged with each other. Since the
concentrator is the ratio of the aperture area to the receiver area, by decreasing the area of the
receiver, the concentrator is improved. ([8] Lievre, 2011)
The material chosen for the trapezoid absorber is aluminum. βA significant benefit of
aluminum and the aluminum extrusion process is the almost unlimited opportunity to adapt
the shape of the product to optimize performance, maximize stiffness and strength, and reduce
the number of parts to assemble and fabricate; all of which contribute to lowering costβ ([4]
Hydro Solar Solutions). If we were to find the temperature difference between the aluminum
wall and the surrounding temperature, we applied the Wiedemann-Franz law, k =Loπ
π, where Lothe Lorenz number(2.45 Γ 10β8π β Ξ© β πΎβ2). ([15] Woodcraft, 2005)
The model developed for this trapezoid absorber contains more parameters in order to
calculate the heat loss corresponding to its dimensions to the functions of the cavity depth or
he absorber temperature ([9] Pye et al, 2003). There are two parts of heat loss analysis, the
heat loss for the absorber and the heat loss for the cavity. Deriving from the fundamental heat
loss equation, the heat loss for absorber through radiation is kept the same and for the heat
loss through convection, the Nusselt number (Nu) and the Grashof number (Gr) are used for the
analysis.

The heat loss for the cavity for the cavity from the cavity is much simpler but unlike the
heat loss for the absorber that only convection heat loss is geometrically dependent, the
radiation heat loss for the cavity also depends on the width of the window. The equations are
given for the heat loss of convection at two sides of the walls and at the window, and the
radiation heat loss at the window:
ππ€,ππππ£ = πβπ€(ππ β ππ) (πΆπππ£πππ‘πππ βπππ‘ πππ π ππ‘ π‘βπ π€πππ)
ππ,ππππ£ = π΅βπ€(ππ β ππ) (πΆπππ£πππ‘πππ βπππ‘ πππ π ππ‘ π‘βπ π€πππππ€)
ππ,πππ = π΅πππ(ππ4 β ππ
4) (π πππππ‘πππ βπππ‘ πππ π ππ‘ π‘βπ π€πππππ€)
Here we notice that the radiation heat loss for the cavity does not include the Radiation
shape factor,πΉπππ, this is because the B, the width of the window has already taken the
geometrical consideration into account.
2.2 Analytic calculation
In this paper, instead of general heat loss computation, the approach to analyze the
heat loss is applying the most fundamental analogy, the Thermal Resistance Circuits. Here, a
brief introduction will be given. ([5] Incropera, Frank P)

In this paper, it would be separated into two sections of resistance analysis. The first
section would be included with the hottest region, where the absorber tubes locate. The
second region would be included with the enclosed convection coefficient. We would make an
assumption that the temperature at the absorber region is 100 degree Celsius higher than the
average temperature enclosed in the absorber cavity.

First, with the sketch provided above, we know that for the top of the cavity, the
thermal resistance analysis consists of the insulation resistance, which would be represented by
the inverse of thermal conductance times the thickness of the insulation. This would then in
series with the convection inside the cavity, the convection coefficient here would depend on
the height of the absorber. Lastly, the resistance of the convection and radiation from the
absorber wall to the surrounding will also be included in the analysis. The thermal resistance
equations for the top side of cavity is:

For the sidesβ walls the heat loss comes from the combined heat loss of radiation and
convection, the conduction heat loss at the wall, and also the radiation and convection heat
loss to the surrounding. The thermal resistance equations in this case would be,
Rwall = Rconvection,enclosure + Rcond,wall + π ππππππππ,π π’ππ, where Rcond,wall =L

Lastly, for the heat loss analysis at the glass side, the heat loss is the same as the sidesβ
walls, except the thermal conductivity and the thickness of the glass are different, which the
heat loss from conduction would be different. However, another assumption would be made
here is that we would neglect the thickness of the glass window. Therefore, the equations for
the thermal resistance is:
Rglass = Rconvection,enclosure + π ππππππππ,π π’ππ
In order to find the final total heat loss, besides the series thermal resistance analysis
we did on the top side of the solar absorber, we would also do a parallel analysis on the glass
side and the wall sides. Furthermore, here we notice that the absorber is geometrically
symmetric, π π πππ can then be doubled to represents both sides of the absorber walls.
Therefore, the parallel resistance will become:

The total heat loss would be πβπππ‘ πππ π _π‘ππ‘ππ = πβπππ‘ πππ π _π‘ππ + πβπππ‘ πππ π _πππ‘π‘ππ
Now the analysis would be emphasized on changing three variables with two varying
bases. The two varying bases are the temperature outside of the absorber cavity (ππ) and the
temperature inside of the cavity (ππ). The three parameters will be changed are the depth of
the absorber, the angle of the absorber inclination, and the thickness of the insulation. We
would analyze the changes for the total heat loss after each adjustment. When one parameter
is changing, the other two parameters would be set to the middle values, such as when we are
changing the depth of the absorber from 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, the values used for the
inclination angle and the 45β°, and 20mm.

3. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
3.1 Discussion
First, from figure 3, figure 4, and figure 5 above, we notice that the higher the depth,
the less the heat loss is. Secondly, from figure 6, figure 7, and figure 8, the plots show us that
the smaller angle is, the more the heat loss is. These two sets of plots agree with each other
that more space for the internal side of the absorber reduces the heat loss, since that the
absorber can enclose more warm air within the cavity. Another set of plots, figure 9, figure 10,
and figure 11 show that the thickness of insulation also have huge impact on the heat loss. The
insulating material is meant to enclose the heat inside the cavity and prevent the heat from
losing. These three graphs prove the prediction that the heat loss decreases as the thickness of
the insulation is increased.
Since all the previous plots showed each different case for a given x-axis and y-axis, the
following plots compare the heat loss for all different 7 cases at a given surrounding
temperature. It is clear to see from the figure 12 that when the surrounding temperature is
lower (here Temperature = 373 K is chosen), the heat enters into the cavity is less hence the
overall heat loss is less. The high surrounding temperature chosen for comparing is shown in
the figure 13 that when the surrounding temperature is 673 K, the overall heat loss increases.

Figure 13. Heat loss for seven combinations at temperature = 673 (K)
It is interesting to observe from the results that the combinations, [0.1, 30, 0.02], [0.1,
45, 0.0], and [0.05, 45, 0.02] (the depth of the absorber, the inclination angle, the thickness of
insulation) have higher heat losses for both surrounding temperatures compared to the other
four combinations. They either have small inclination angle, small insulation thickness, or small
height of the absorber, and these characteristics also agree to the results concluded earlier.
3.2 Conclusion
In this paper, the heat loss for the trapezoid solar absorber used for the Concentrated
Solar Power System is analyzed and the adjustments for the geometry (the height of the
absorber cavity and the inclination angle for the absorber), and the insulation thickness are
made to find the optimal combination for the absorber design.
The conclusion comes that no matter for high or low surrounding temperatures, the
combination for the absorber design should include high cavity depth and larger inclination
angle to make a larger enclosed space. Excluding the material cost for now, the insulation
thickness should be maximized to secure the hot air enclosed within the absorber cavity.
The future work for this project includes analyzing the impact how Direct Steam
Generation would help to reduce the heat loss and maximize the system overall efficiency.
More parameters and tests could be carried out and present another more accurate report, and
to find the best geometric configuration for this concentrated power absorber system.
