Summary

Within the Spanish-German “GAST” project — a cooperation sponsored by the German BMFT — ceramic piping for the high temperature part of the GAST receiver is being developed and build and is planned to be tested summer 1985 at the plata forma solar in Spain. The panel embodies all elements typical for a ceramic construction: long ceramic pipes, ceramic-ceramic joints, ceramic to metal connections, expansion compensation and is thus able to demonstrate the practicability of this new technology. The additional questions to be anwered for a proper functioning are discussed as well: material selection, stress analysis by FEM-methods, and life time prediction.
