Novel heat-transfer medium and air wall increase efficiency of solar thermal tower power plants
https://techxplore.com/news/2023-03-heat-transfer-medium-air-wall-efficiency.html
"operating temperature >1,000°C boosting efficiency... bespoke process, non-corrosive, environmentally friendly and recycling sourced, high heat storage capacity, cost-efficient... combines radiation receiver, heat-transfer medium and storage material... Heat transfer resistance and limitations of flux density... Air wall reduces thermal loss 30%... enables smaller solar power towers further reducing costs"
