Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications
This industrial solution consists of two parabolic trough collectors (under the brand name): RACK10 (for rooftop) and Rack20 (ground mount). Installed in rows, these collectors increase the intensity of the sun's rays by concentrating them on a central tube filled with a circulating heat transfer fluid (e.g. oil), which absorbs the thermal energy. The collector consists of an ultra-high-efficiency parabolic mirror and a vacuum tube that receives the concentrated solar energy. The mirror and tube assembly are mounted on a pivoting structure equipped with a smart sun-tracking mechanism. The heat captured by the collectors is transported, at high temperature, through a piping system filled with a heat transfer fluid to a thermal battery or directly to the process. Heat is used in many different industrial processes:food and beverage, textile, mining industry, pulp and paper, water treatment and many other.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Automated sun-tracking collectors.
- •7 414 metric tons of CO2 saved versus a 1MW liquid petroleum gas (LPG) boiler.
The Financial Benefits
- •Savings of 93 533 USD per year versus a 1MW LPG boiler.
