Summary
This paper presents the preliminary results of evaluation work performed on the cavity receiver (Sulzer) and the external receiver (ASR) installed at the IEA/SSPS Project.
Operational data are combined with data obtained in loss tests which were performed on both receivers.
The methods used arrive at the same results: the cavity receiver has lower efficiency than the external receiver, and the losses of the cavity receiver are twice as high as those of the external receiver.
The figures presented have a marginal error of 5–15%.
For more confidence on the results, and to achieve a better accuracy, additional tests and evaluation work are planned.
