Abstract

To find out whether a volumetric ceramic receiver could be suitable for high temperature application in an open air cooling system, a feasibility study with respect to thermal loading was commissioned by DFVLR *) to Interatom GmbH. The ceramic type receiver should be orientated at manufacture possibilities of Silicon Carbide and Silicon Nitride ceramic heat exchangers of HOECHST Ceram Tec.
