Abstract

• we test the performance of a nanofluid-based tubular DASC. • we alter the flow rate, the concentrations of nanoparticles, and the irradiation. • DASC demonstrates up to 38% better performance than an opaque collector. • we elucidate internals of DASC using the CFD. • we report details of nanofluid lifecycle in DASC. Direct absorption solar collectors (DASC) with nanofluid represent a new direction in solar thermal technology that is simpler yet more efficient than conventional equipment. In this work, we report details of performance for a custom tubular DASC with a carbon-based nanofluid. The collector was tested experimentally following a standard procedure and using a multiphase CFD-model of the device. The experiments were carried out in a range of flow rates 2... 10 l/min, nanoparticle concentrations 0.0015... 0.082%wt., temperature differences (up to 29.3 degrees), and radiant heat fluxes. We found that, at a particle concentration of 0.01%, the collector demonstrated the average thermal efficiency of 80%. For the comparable temperature differences, the efficiency of DASC was 5.8... 37.9% higher than a collector with similar geometry but a surface absorption of light energy. The CFD-model, validated against our experiments, depicts flow patterns in the DASC focusing on nanoparticles’ deposition. Less than 5% of particles deposit under local flow restrictions at flows above 6 l/min. The deposition patterns from the CFD-model correlate to the experimental observations.
