Abstract
A heating chamber for supplying heated air in a Brayton engine or gas turbine plant including a compressor and turbine. The heating chamber includes a solar energy receiver that receives solar energy, converts it to heat, and heats air from the compressor. To supply additional energy that may be required for the turbine, fuel is injected into the air stream and a catalyst downstream of the solar receiver reacts the fuel with the air to provide additional energy.
