“…Sand, Al, and SiC particles were selected for solar thermal storage and fluidized bed formation in the lab-scale solar storage receiver. To determine the particle size suitable for the bubbling fluidized receiver, the particle classification standard with respect to the particle density and size suggested by Geldart [23] was referred to. As a result, all the selected particles belong to B group in the Geldart particle classification [23,24] as shown in Fig.…”

The use of solid particles as a solar energy transport and storage medium overcomes the intermittency issues for solar energy and is advantageous for the development of a hybrid process that integrates biomass and solar thermal energy. In this study, lab-scale experimental equipment consisted of bubbling fluidized bed (55mm I.D. and 200mm height) with direct irradiated solar thermal storage was designed and constructed. Sand, alumina (Al), and silica carbide (SiC) particles with 3 different particle sizes (130µm, 250µm, and 370µm) were used as a solar thermal storage medium in the fluidized bed. Due to higher absorption and emissivity properties, the solar thermal efficiency of SiC was higher than those of sand and Al. As the gas velocities in the bubbling fluidized bed increased from the initial minimum fluidization velocity (Umf) to 2 Umf, the temperature differences between upper bed and lower bed decreased from 470 o C to 35 o C because of vigorous solid mixing and heat transfer. Also, the increase of average particle size resulted in the decrease of solid heat storage and the increase of gas heat storage due to the differences of specific surface area and gas velocity. Therefore, the energy transported and stored according to the size of silicon carbide was the highest at 370 µm, and the receiver efficiency was 21.38%.
