A particle receiver is an object placed on the top of a solar tower on which surface solar energy is concentrated by means of a solar field composed of large number of mirrors, called heliostats. The goal is to transform solar energy into thermal energy that can be used in a heat process, thermochemical process, or in a heat engine to. Gravity-driven particle flow through enclosuresThis receiver concept is composed of an enclosure with horizontal tubes with their external side inside of the enclosure and having their internal side irradiated with concentrated solar.
