  • High energy-efficient device, system and method for the use of thermal energy of solar origin
    Patent number: 11143435
    Abstract: A device for accumulation and exchange of thermal energy of solar origin is provided. The device includes: a casing which defines an internal compartment and has an irradiation opening configured to allow the entry of concentrated solar radiation, the opening puts in direct communication the inner compartment with the external environment being devoid, in use, of closure or screen means; a bed of fluidizable solid particles, received within the inner compartment of the casing, the bed has an operative region directly exposed to the concentrated solar radiation that enters through the opening, in such a way that the particles of the operative region absorb thermal energy from solar radiation; and fluidization means of the bed of particles, configured to adduce a fluidizing gas into the compartment at the operative region.
    Type: Grant
