Advanced Thermal Energy
SKU# RE9584
The Advanced Thermal Energy teaching solution offers students a comprehensive modular setup to explore various solar thermal energy transformation technologies at a laboratory scale. The system includes multiple solar collector types, such as a parabolic reflector and absorber tube, which can be operated with or without the included pump. It also features CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) technology and a Peltier element for direct conversion of thermal energy into electricity. Experiments cover core thermodynamic principles, including heat exchange, heat radiation absorption, and convective heat flow.
Learning Objectives:
- Absorptivity and reflectivity of different materials
- Focusing of light by a Fresnel lens
- Thermal convection and layering
- Thermal conduction
- Thermal insulation
- Solar thermal collector with pump circulation
- Solar thermal collector with thermosiphon circulation
- Variation of the flow speed
- Collector circuit with heat exchanger
- Collector circuit with paraffin heat reservoir
- Parabolic trough collector with pump cycle
- Defocusing
- Qualitative demonstration of the functional principle
- Investigating the thermoelectric generator
- Quantitative determination of the electrical power
