Advanced Solar Thermal Technologies for Clean Water
Artic Solar proposes to integrate a high temperature solar thermal collector and a proprietary steam generator to provide the steam and the required energy for a solar thermal distillation or evaporation system. The ability to generate steam on a continuous basis using water for the heat transfer fluid in the collector closed loop increases efficiency and lowers the cost of energy required for ...

Dynamic exergetic performance assessment of an integrated solar pond
In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the exergetic performance of a solar pond integrated with solar collectors (with a surface area of 2096 m² and a depth of 2 m, and four flat–plate collectors with dimensions of 1.90 m × 0.90 m). A data acquisition device is used to measure and record the temperatures hourly at various locations in the pond. An exergy ...

Exergy analysis of DSG parabolic trough collectors for the optimal integration with a combined cycle
A comprehensive energy and exergy analysis was conducted for various components of a direct steam generation (DSG) parabolic trough solar collector field under nominal operating conditions to assess performance of the components and to optimally integrate them with a thermal system. The solar field was modelled mathematically to compute thermal loss and consequently the thermodynamic ...
