Investigation of Process Efficiency of an Indirectly Heated Solar Reformer

Efficiency potential of indirectly heated solar reforming with open volumetric solar receiver

“…After the heat exchanger, it still has a temperature of above 300 C, but a further cooling of the air will not enhance process efficiency (as previously shown in Ref. [21]), it is therefore returned to the receiver. The pressurized natural gas feed is mixed with the superheated steam and introduced into the reforming reactor.…”
