This paper describes the accelerated ageing of commercially available silvered polymer film by contact cleaning using brushes and water in the presence of soiling created by dust and sand particles. These conditions represent cleaning regimes in real

Parabolic trough collectors (PTC) are an already established technology set to prove its competitiveness. Recently, a lot of research is ongoing to further enhance the thermal performance of PTC systems. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can help in

This paper describes the development and validation of computational fluid dynamics modelling of dust barriers for parabolic trough plants. Two differently shaped porous barriers were simulated with a parabolic trough field of up to 25 rows. Sand and

We describe the design of a small-scale parabolic trough with a high-pressure absorber bundle to convert microalgae into bio-oil. The “proof-of-concept” system uses an existing Global CSP solar captor, with its reflectance enhanced by the additio

We describe the design of a small thermal desalination unit for use in refugee camps or in emergency situations that might be found after natural disasters. The thermal evaporation and condenser stages are separated for higher efficiency and the proc

This paper describes experimental work performed at Cranfield University to investigate some of the factors that affect the soiling of glass mirrors. An experimental test rig was built and the factors tested were temperatures, particle size, relative

In this work we investigate, design, and evaluate a number of dust barrier designs that would be appropriate to reduce soiling of glass mirror solar collectors in the solar field of an existing CSP plant. The principal objective was to reduce the amo

Coatings are used extensively in concentrating solar systems to improve the performance of both reflectors and absorbers in terms of costs, efficiency, durability and maintenance. Different coatings are needed for different applications, operating co

This work studies the deposition of aluminium-incorporated nickel coatings by brush electroplating, focusing on the electroplating setup and processing parameters. The setup was optimised in order to increase the volume of particle incorporation. The
