“…The spotlight modules are equipped with xenon short arc lamps, the radiation spectrum similar to the solar spectrum. The provided heat flux and temperature can be measured by a thermal camera system and a radiometer [20]. During the campaigns, the general reactor functionality has been ensured by several heating and cooling cycles with large temperature ranges about more than five hours.…”

“…Usually, the incoming solar flux profile is provided inhomogeneously which can lead to spatial irregularities of the temperature profile. Figure 4 shows the spatial temperature distribution on the absorber measured at the sun simulator laboratory Synlight [20] during the reduction step by use of a thermal camera. Due to the focus setting of the high-performance radiators, two hot spots are created on the absorber surface.…”

“…Due to the reflector geometry, described above, the Synlight modules normally produce a flux distribution which is comparable to a Gauss distribution, with a narrow high-flux peak and a wide base with lower flux values. These profiles can be modified by two similar methods: by changing the distance between the simulator module and the target or by changing the lamp position inside the reflector [17]. However, none of these methods can compensate the general flux profile caused by the elliptic shape of the reflectors.…”
