Popis: A novel concept of particles fluidized bed receiver/reactor with a beam-down solar concentrating optics was performed using a 30-kWth window type receiver by a big sun-simulator. A fluidized bed of quartz sand particles was created by passing air from the bottom distributor of the receiver, and about 30 kWth of high flux visible light from 19 xenon-arc lamps of the sun-simulator was directly irradiated on the top of the fluidized bed in the receiver through a quartz window. The particle bed temperature at the center position of the fluidized bed went up to a temperature range from 1050 to 1200°C by the visible light irradiation with the average heat flux of about 950 kW/m2, depending on the air flow rate. The output air temperature from the receiver reached 1000 - 1060°C.
