SHEC Labs applies for new patent for Solar
Receiver
SHEC LABS -(Solar Hydrogen Energy Corporation) today announced the
filing for a patent on their proprietary solar receiver.
A new provisional patent application was filed with the Canadian
Patent Office. The company has sought global protection on this
technology entitled "SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTOR".
This invention is in the solar energy field. The "SOLAR ENERGY
COLLECTOR" has been designed for the efficient collection of
concentrated solar radiation. Concentrated solar radiation can be
used for thermo-chemical, thermo-mechanical and other thermal
processes including hydrogen production.
There exists today considerable interest in harnessing renewable
solar thermal energy for a multitude of heat driven processes.
These may include thermo-mechanical as in sterling engines, steam
turbine power generation systems, thermo-chemical reforming,
thermal-disassociation of water, process heating and materials
processing etc. "This is a major breakthrough in the economical
collection of solar radiation and when combined with complimentary
technologies we have developed at SHEC-Labs, we feel we are ready
for the next step, commercialization." said Mr. Tom Beck, President
and C.E.O. of SHEC-Labs.
The present invention provides a receiver assembly in which solar
radiation is converted to heat by multiple internal reflections
within a reflective cavity. This cavity receiver assembly is
thermally coupled to the required heat process. The receiver
assembly has sufficient mass to prevent thermal fluctuations and
provides the coupled process with a consistent temperature
regardless of minor insulation or reflected solar energy
variations.
