Abstract::A solar thermal simulator is suitable for indoor experiments of solar receivers and reactors when solar insolation and weather conditions are not favorable. Moreover, due to the easy control of electric power input, the solar thermal simulator allows the adjustment of power input incident on solar receivers and reactors and thus the implementation of accurate experiments. We manufactured a solar simulator, which is comprised of three sets of a xenon lamp and an elliptical reflector. In order to serve as a tes… Show more
“…Neither enough data have been found about the design of the Korean Institute of Energy Research (KIER) solar simulator. However, characterization results of KIER simulator were reported by Chai et al [85] and they showed a peak heat flux of 3.019 kW/m 2 and a maximum power of 16.9 kW for the three xenon lamps coupled with elliptical reflectors.…”
