  • High temperature solar receiver
    Patent number: 7690377
    Abstract: The invention provides receivers which can be used to heat a working fluid to high temperature. In preferred embodiments, concentrated solar radiation is received and converted to heat at varying depths in the receiver such that multiple layers of surface are used to heat the working fluid. In addition, the depth-loading configuration helps to trap received heat to reduce radiant thermal loss.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 11, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 6, 2010
    Assignee: BrightSource Energy, Inc.
    Inventors: Arnold Goldman, Arieh Meitav, Ilia Yakupov, Israel Kroizer, Yuri Kokotov, Yoel Gilon

  • Proton-selective conducting membranes
    Publication number: 20020127474
    Abstract: A membrane comprising: (a) a hydrophobic matrix polymer, and (b) a hydrophilic non-ionic polymer, wherein the hydrophobic polymer and the hydrophilic polymer are disposed so as to form a dense selectively proton-conducting membrane. The microstructure of such a membrane can be tailored to specific functionality requirements, such as proton conductivity vs. proton selectivity, and selectivity to particular species.
