The pursuits of solar application for biofuel generation

Presently, the performance of the air-conditioner or the air-conditioning system is usually valued based on some performance indices. However, it is deficient to evaluate the performance of the air-conditioning system which uses the new energy or renewable energy only based on the indices mentioned above. According to the defects and based on the works of the solar application, a new index defined PVI is put forward to evaluate the performance of the solar air-conditioning system rationally, which is significant to the new energy or renewable energy application.

This paper describes the design and testing of the Steam Generator Subsystem (SGS) for the Molten Salt Electric Experiment at Sandia Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Molten Salt Electric Experiment (MSEE) has been established at the Department of Energy’s five megawatt thermal Solar Central Receiver Test Facility, to demonstrate the feasibility of the molten salt central receiver concept. The experiment is capable of generating 0.75 megawatts of electric power from solar energy, with the capability of storing seven megawatt-hours of thermal energy. The steam generator subsystem transfers sensible heat from the solar-heated molten nitrate salt to produce steam to drive a conventional turbine. This paper discusses the design requirements dictated by the steam generator application and also reviews the process conditions. Details of each of the SGS components are given, featuring the aspects of the design and performance unique to the solar application. The paper concludes with a summary of the test results confirming the overall design of the subsystem.
