6 FAQs about [Solar steam generator patent]

Can solar vapour generators reduce the cost of solar thermal systems?

This demonstration of a low-cost and scalable solar vapour generator holds the promise of significantly expanding the application domain and reducing the cost of solar thermal systems. Solar energy can be used to evaporate water and generate steam, however this usually requires expensive optical concentrators.

What is interfacial solar steam generation (SSG)?

A low cost, highly flexible and environmentally friendly water generation method known as interfacial solar steam generation (SSG) has recently been popularized by many researchers due to the continuously increasing water demand and widening wealth gap around the world. In this perspective, factors determini

Can solar energy evaporate water and generate steam?

Solar energy can be used to evaporate water and generate steam, however this usually requires expensive optical concentrators. Ni et al. demonstrate a low-cost solar receiver based on thermal concentration that generates steam at 100 ∘C without the need for optical concentration.

Can a floating solar receiver generate 100 C steam?

Here we demonstrate a floating solar receiver capable of generating 100 ∘ C steam under ambient air conditions without optical concentration. The high temperatures are achieved by using thermal concentration and heat localization, which reduce the convective, conductive and radiative heat losses.

Is thermal concentration a cost-effective approach to solar steam generation?

In addition, the floating structure will enable direct deployment on water surfaces, such as over a bay, hence reducing system complexity and cost. We have shown that thermal concentration can be a more cost-effective approach to solar steam generation than optical concentration.

What is an ambient steam generator (OAS)?

Figure 2 shows the lab-scale one-sun, ambient steam generator (OAS), which contains three main components. First, a spectrally selective solar absorber is used, consisting of a cermet (BlueTec eta plus) coated on a copper sheet. Second, a thermal insulator was constructed from a polystyrene foam disk.
