Abstract

In this paper, unit heat pipe receiver in advanced solar dynamic system was numerically simulated. Accordingly, mathematical model was set up, numerical calculation method was offered, numerical results were compared with the experimental results concerned. The temperature field of PCM (Phase Change material) was shown, the thermal performance of heat pipe receiver was analyzed. Analysis results show the axial and radial temperature difference of heat pipe are small; the thermal performance of heat pipe receiver is stable and reliable. The existence of void cavity influences the process of phase change; the temperature gradient of PCM zone is very significant because of the effect of void cavity.
