Solar thermal provide an ideal energy source for a range of process stages in an industrial plant and district heating. Energy security and lower CO2 emissions, as well as protection against fluctuating energy costs are some of the benefits that are causing more and more companies to investigate the possibilities offered by solar thermal energy.
Solar thermal provides a solution to the industries high heat demand, as the sun serves as an unlimited source of clean, reliable and easily accessible heat that can be harnessed endlessly.
In addition to being cost-effective, solar thermal energy is also price-predictable, preventing the risks associated with price volatility. The technology is readily deployable and is not constrained by factors such as availability, electricity prices and grid limitations.
Absolicon Solar Thermal
Absolicon unique technology for extracting energy from the sun is certified by Solar Keymark and provides a renewable solar thermal integration on both process and supply levels to supplement or replace current fuel.
Absolicon solar thermal energy system can reach temperatures of up to 160°C (320°F) and pressures of up to 8 bar. The heat can then either be used for generating steam, or directly in industry process stages such as boiling, pasteurization and CIP or as heat in district heating.
Since the heat is captured without any energy conversion, the efficiency is very high. Absolicon’s solar collectors have a record-high optical efficiency and captures 76% of the solar energy.
