The power plant for experimental and demonstration purposes in the town of J{\"u}lich started supplying electric energy in the beginning of 2008. The central receiver plant features as central innovation an open volumetric receiver, consisting of porous ceramic elements that simultaneously absorb the concentrated sunlight and transfer the heat to ambient air passing through the pores so that an average temperature of 680°C is reached. The subsequent steam cycle generates up to 1.5 MWe. A main field of research at the SIJ is the optimization of the absorber structures. To analyze the capability of new absorber specimens a special test facility was developed and set up in the laboratory. A high-performance near-infrared radiator offers for single test samples a variable and repeatable beam with a power of up to 320 kW/m² peak. The temperatures achieved on the absorber surface can reach more than 1000°C. To suck ambient air through the open absorber - like on the tower - it is mounted on a special blower system. An overview about the test facility and some recent results will be presented.}, language = {en} } @article{WeberArentMuenchetal.2016, author = {Weber, Tobias and Arent, Jan-Christoph and M{\"u}nch, Lukas and Duhovic, Miro and Balvers, Johannes Mattheus}, title = {A fast method for the generation of boundary conditions for thermal autoclave simulation}, series = {Composites Part A}, volume = {88}, journal = {Composites Part A}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1359-835X}, doi = {10.1016/j.compositesa.2016.05.036}, pages = {216 -- 225}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Manufacturing process simulation enables the evaluation and improvement of autoclave mold concepts early in the design phase. To achieve a high part quality at low cycle times, the thermal behavior of the autoclave mold can be investigated by means of simulations. Most challenging for such a simulation is the generation of necessary boundary conditions. Heat-up and temperature distribution in an autoclave mold are governed by flow phenomena, tooling material and shape, position within the autoclave, and the chosen autoclave cycle. This paper identifies and summarizes the most important factors influencing mold heat-up and how they can be introduced into a thermal simulation. Thermal measurements are used to quantify the impact of the various parameters. Finally, the gained knowledge is applied to develop a semi-empirical approach for boundary condition estimation that enables a simple and fast thermal simulation of the autoclave curing process with reasonably high accuracy for tooling optimization.}, language = {en} } @article{MiyamotoKanekoMatsuoetal.2010, author = {Miyamoto, Ko-ichiro and Kaneko, Kazumi and Matsuo, Akira and Wagner, Torsten and Kanoh, Shin`ichiro and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo}, title = {Miniaturized chemical imaging sensor system using an OLED display panel}, series = {Procedia Engineering}, volume = {5}, journal = {Procedia Engineering}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1877-7058}, doi = {10.1016/j.proeng.2010.09.160}, pages = {516 -- 519}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The chemical imaging sensor is a semiconductor-based chemical sensor that can visualize the two-dimensional distribution of specific ions or molecules in the solution.

The sensor consists of two temperature-sensitive thin-film resistances built up on a polyimide foil with a thickness of 25 μm, which are passivated with a layer of SU-8 photo resist and catalytically activated with manganese(IV) oxide. Instead of an active heating structure, the calorimetric sensor utilizes the elevated temperature of an evaporated H2O2 aerosol. In an experimental set-up, the sensor has shown a sensitivity of 4.78 °C/(\%v/v) in a H2O2 concentration range of 0 to 10\% v/v at an evaporation temperature of 240 ∘C. Furthermore, the sensor possesses the same, unchanged sensor signal even at varied evaporation temperatures of the gas stream.
