Abstract For increasing of solar heating energy plants’ absorbing possibility and reducing heat loss selective nano-covered surface application has great practical importance. In the investigation Cu+Ni+SiO2+Ni+SiO2 and Cu+Ni+ZnS content selective nano-covered surface’ usage in solar energy plants was studied. This content having high effectiveness was painted on the surface of the specific solar receiver. In comparison with the other selective surfaces this selective nano-covered surface supplies to keep its optical properties stable till T>500 . New type solar receiver with the developed selective nano-covered surface was tested in natural condition and at the lab. In the paper the most necessary heat-energy parameters of this solar receiver were defined. ℃ Keywords Solar energy, selective surface, solar receiver, absorption

Besides on the For obtaining high effectiveness in solar energy plants surface of the solar receiver made from the steel material in solar hear receiver was covered by the special selective layer such holes rust appears, that leads to the rapid destruction of on the surface. Such surfaces give opportunity to increase the selective cover[3]. maximal effectiveness of solar receiver in sun radiation exchange. Both the cost and the covering technology of the selective layers are too expensive that’s why its safety is 2. Analysis of selective surfaces necessary. Therefore vacuum layer is made around the solar receiver having selective cover, and then it is put into the Different selective covers (Cu, Ni, SiO, SiO2, Si3N4, TiO2, clear glass pipe.

The actual performance of an absorber at high tem- peratures may not correspond to the calculated emittance. This is because small errors in measured ρ can lead to large errors in small values of ε[7]. In addition, for some materials the measured emittance data at two different temperatures may simply be different. For example, at λmax , the black- body wavelength maximum for a specific temperature,

Coatings typically repli- cate to some degree the surface roughness of the substrate. Therefore to facilitate development, it is important to meas- ure the emittance of each coating-substrate combination as well as the uncoated substrate when developing a solar se- lective coating. Furthermore, selective coatings can degrade at high temperatures because of thermal load (oxidation), Figure 1.
