Solar heat absorbing system

摘要

Improved solar heat recovery is provided through the use of a system which embodies passing air or other gaseous stream with entrained black body particles from a solar heating zone to a particle separation zone such that a heated particle stream can be passed to a heat exchange zone to impart heat to water or other heat exchange medium. The resultant cooled particles are subsequently remixed with the gaseous stream being separately discharged from the particle separation zone such that a recombined stream is recirculated to the solar heating zone to provide a continuous operation.
