PSA - LABORATORY OF SOLAR CONCENTRATING SYSTEM UNITReceivers testing and characterization for concentrating solar thermal systemsThis activity line comprises both linear receivers and volumetric receivers. The equipment associated to linear receivers is located at PSA and its main device is a test bench called HEATREC for measuring heat loss of single receiver tubes under indoor laboratory conditions. Heat loss measurements can be done under vacuum conditions to avoid convection outside the glass tube, thus obtaining a more uniform temperature along the receiver section and looking for the heat loss by radiation. In addition, is possible to determine heat loss at different vacuum levels in the space between the metallic absorber tube and the glass envelope. The emissivity of the selective coating can be then inferred from these measures.HEATREC device lets to characterize heat losses of receiver tubes with inner diameter greater than 62 mm and tube length lower than 4.5 m. Measurements can be performed for absorber temperature ranging from 100°C to 500°C. The vacuum in the test chamber can be set up to around 10-2 mbar.Besides HEATREC, the activity line devoted to linear receivers is equipped with tools and devices for proper manipulation and monitoring of receiver tubes.View of the HEATREC test chamber to measure heat losses in solar receiver tubesThe lab equipment devoted to volumetric receivers is installed at CIEMAT-Moncloa (Madrid) site with the aim of studying in depth at lab scale the solar volumetric technology. Its main component is a test bench specially designed for the test of new volumetric absorbers and configurations and its ageing. This test bench has the flexibility to study:The pressure difference across the volumetric absorber for different fluid density and fluid velocity, for the determination of the main properties described by the Forchheimer extension to Darcy’s law: the viscous permeability coefficient and, the inertial permeability coeffici
