Abstract

We have found the flux homogenization technique described in the paper published in volume 93, pages 115–124 (august 2016), does not provide homogenized fluxes in all out-of-focus distances of the solar receiver, but only above a certain transition distance, and that some of the numerical analysis procedures used in that document should be revised or complemented to achieve better reproducibility of the results. In addition, we also note that some statements and conclusions in that document are mistaken or formulated incorrectly, so it is necessary their correction.
