Centrifugal receiver CentRec

Centrifugal receiver CentRec
Ceramic particles measuring approximately one millimetre are heated to 1000 degrees Celsius in a radiation receiver developed for innovative solar tower power plants. Centrifugal forces in the revolving receiver keep the particles in the drum until they are hot enough to drive steam turbines in a power plant, to name one example.
