Abstract: A treatment system for solid bulk materials such as limestone or mineral ore is provided having a belt conveyor configured for receiving the solid bulk material upon a transportation surface thereof and for displacing the material from a charging region to a discharging region according to a rectilinear path and a heating chamber, configured to receive a solar radiation conveyed by an external field of heliostats. A length portion of the transportation surface passes within or below the heating chamber so that thermal energy associated with the solar radiation is transferred to the bulk material by direct impingement or by reflection or re-irradiation by internal surfaces or walls of the heating chamber.

Abstract: A plant for the accumulation and transfer of thermal energy, which plant has an accumulation device of the kind with a bed of fluidizable solid particles. The plant further has for each accumulation device: electric resistor means arranged within the casing and thermally connected with the bed of particles, which electric resistors are configured for transmitting thermal energy generated by Joule effect to the particles and they are fed by exceeding electric energy from wind or photovoltaic source; and heat exchange means, also thermally connected with the bed of particles and which can be selectively actuated to receive thermal energy therefrom, the overall configuration being such that the thermal energy is transferred from the resistor means to the fluidizable solid particles of the bed and from the fluidizable solid particles to the heat exchange means.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to use the high temperature thermal power stored in the fluid bed in conjunction with thermophotovoltaic (TPV) technology. TPV technology requires thermal emitters at high temperature (>600° C.) to produce electricity from thermal radiation. TPV thermal emitters are located immersed in or exposed to a hot particles fluidized bed, protected by suitable layers of high temperature resistant material, like ceramic or refractory walls. Such high temperature fluidized bed, will provide thermal power to the TPV cells, to produce electricity.
