REACTOR WITH SUSTAINABLE POWER GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300812 titled 'REACTOR WITH SUSTAINABLE POWER GENERATION
The system described in the patent application includes a particle receiver, a heat exchanger, an electric generator, and a reactor. The particle receiver captures solar energy and transfers it to a heat transfer fluid, which is then used to heat a working fluid in the heat exchanger. The working fluid expands through the electric generator, generating electrical power. The reactor consists of two compartments separated by a heat transfer barrier, which maintains the operating temperature of the reaction feed stream to convert reactants into specified products.
- Particle receiver captures solar energy
- Heat exchanger transfers heat to working fluid
- Electric generator produces electrical power
- Reactor maintains reaction temperature and converts reactants into products
- Heat transfer barrier separates compartments in the reactor
Potential Applications: - Solar power generation - Chemical reactions requiring specific temperatures - Energy production in remote locations
