Solar Concentrator for Industrial Process Heating

Solar Concentrator for Process Heating

Heating processes (not including steam generation) consume about 5.2 quads (quadrillion Btu), which is nearly 17% of all energy used by industry.In U.S. industry, process heating accounts for more direct energy use than any other processes that consume energy during manufacturing.In fact, energy costs for process heating represent 2%–15% of a product’s total cost.

The 9M solar concentrator (solar dish) can provide 45 KW of thermal energy for various process heating applications due to its concentrated solar power efficiency and varied temperature range. The Solar Concentrator can provide solar thermal heating to the following applications:

Energy costs for process heating represent 2%–15% of a product’s total cost.
