Experimental Investigation of a Moving Packed-Bed Heat Exchanger Suitable for Concentrating Solar Power Applications

This paper presents a thermal performance evaluation of a novel particle-to-air heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has a patented design with a shell-and-tube configuration. Solid particles move as a dense packed-bed inside the vertical tubes of the heat exchanger whereas air flows on the shell-side...
