Patent number: 11846451Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to multi-stage falling particle receivers and methods of falling particle heating. As the particles fall through the receiver, the particles are periodically collected and released by flow retarding devices. The periodic catch-and-release of the particles falling through the receiver reduces particle flow dispersion, increases particle opacity and solar absorption, and reduces erosion and damage to surfaces caused by direct particle impingement.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignees: National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Clifford K.
