The solar reflector is one of the main components concentrated thermal systems. Therefore, accurate knowledge its solar-weighted, near-specular reflectance highly important. Currently, this parameter cannot be properly measured with a single commercial instrument. There great interest in having suitable procedure that can guarantee accuracy quality analysis, which already led to publication an international measurement guideline (title "Parameters and method evaluate properties materials for...
Concentrating solar thermal (CST) technologies are a feasible and promising option to tackle worldwide energy problems. These facilities sometimes located near industrial sites, where their main components—including concentrating reflectors—are prone significant degradation caused by corrosive agents, especially in the presence of sulfurous atmospheres such as H2S SO2. This paper focuses on analyzing influence durability reflector materials used CST technologies. To this end, accelerated...
The corrosion of the reflective layer is one main degradation mechanisms solar reflectors. However, appropriate assessment corroded reflector samples not accomplished by current analysis techniques. On hand, reflectance measurement protocol non-damaged reflectors for concentrating thermal technologies widely addressed in SolarPACES guideline. this methodology adequate whose surface partially many kind agents. In work, a new technique to properly assess was developed. To check usefulness...
