Testing of a Secondary Concentrator Integrated with a Beam-Down Tower System under Non-liquid Cooling Strategies
© 2018 Author(s). Three dimensional secondary concentrators are exposed to high radiation fluxes, part of which is absorbed by the reflecting material, leading to elevated wall temperatures which may cause reflectance degradation and mechanical distortion. Temperature monitoring and thermal manageme...
