Thermochromic solar absorber coatings with elevated transition temperature

Anna Krammer

Due to their simple design and operation, solar thermal collectors for domestic hot water gener-ation and space heating are one of the most common solar energy harvesting systems in use today. Dur-ing cold periods all the absorbed energy is useful. During ...

Thermochromic coatings for overheating protection of solar thermal collectors - novel type of doping (TARGET95)

Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer

Overheating and the resulting stagnation of solar thermal collectors is a common problem even in central European latitudes. During stagnation, high temperatures lead to water evaporation, glycol degradation and stresses in the collector with increasing va ...

Infrared Optical Properties of Doped and Pure Thermochromic Coatings for Solar Thermal Absorbers

Josef Andreas Schuler, Anna Krammer

A new generation of solar collectors is based on thermochromic thin film technology, where the remarkable optical changes of vanadium dioxide, through its reversible semiconductor-to-metal phase transition, are exploited. This study reports on the infrared ...

Study of Si doped VO2 thin films for solar thermal applications

Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

A new generation of smart solar thermal collectors is based on thermochromic thin film technology. Thermochromic absorber coatings change their optical properties with temperature, particularly in the infrared range. In order to prevent overheating, the co ...

Thermal solar collector with VO2 absorber coating and V1-xWxO2 thermochromic glazing – Temperature matching and triggering

Andreas Schueler, Rosendo Sanjines, Mario Geiger, Antonio Paone

Overheating is a common problem both with the use of active and passive solar energy in thermal solar energy systems and in highly glazed buildings, even in central European latitudes. In solar thermal collectors, the elevated temperatures occurring during ...

Switchable Selective Absorber Coatings for Overheating Protection of Solar Thermal Collectors

Antonio Paone

Overheating is a common problem both with the use of active and passive solar energy in solar thermal energy systems and in highly glazed buildings. In solar thermal collectors, the elevated temperatures occurring during stagnation result in reduced lifeti ...

Wavelength-tunable UV laser for electron beam generation with low intrinsic emittance

Christoph Peter Hauri, Rasmus Ischebeck

We developed a powerful UV laser at a central wavelength varying from 260-283 nm. The laser system based on a frequency-trippled Ti:sapphire amplifier delivers mJ pulse energy within a duration of 1-10 ps (fwhm) with 1.5 nm spectral width (fwhm). The syste ...

Optical selective coating for solar absorbers

Andreas Schueler, Martin Joly

Solar thermal energy is generally accepted as very energy efficient in providing space heating and cooling, desalination of sea water or solar thermal electricity generation. For all these applications, one of the key elements is the optical selective coat ...
