Cooling water circuits and solar systems are often filled with water-glycol mixtures for frost protection reasons. Propylene glycol added to the water mainly serves as frost protection. The propylene glycol also provides a certain degree of corrosion protection. Due to the addition of propylene glycol, the viscosity of the circulation fluid used increases slightly and the air separation capacity ...
Among these technologies, coil heat exchangers play a crucial role in enhancing the performance and efficiency of systems like geothermal heat pumps (GHPs) and solar thermal systems. ...

In early 2023, the world’s largest and most efficient solar concentrator was installed in Western India to power a hospital and research center. The impressive construction will produce steam for multiple applications as well as electricity for air conditioners. To maximize irradiance yield, the engineers are aligning the 26-ton concentrator with the path of the sun, utilizing data from the ...
Artic’s XCPC Solution The target for every manufacturer is the development of an environmentally sustainable system that actually reduces electricity and fuel costs. Artic’s solar thermal system has twice the efficiency of traditional solar (“solar PV”) and can reach ...
In an era where the American public demands social responsibility from their favored brands, environmentally sound practices are also a necessity. Artic Solar’s unique solar systems provide the optimal solution. Our XCPC system uses the newest technology to provide clean, renewable energy for heating & cooling ...
In 1923, a Miami real estate tycoon built a factory to make solar thermal systems for distribution in Miami and throughout Florida. ...
Located on a 146-hectare site, the plant includes 10,600 heliostats that direct the solar radiation to a receiver located at the top of the tower. The plant features a record 17.5 hours of molten salt thermal energy storage capacity and will be joined to an operational 100 MW PV plant at a total cost of $1.3 billion. ...
Looking for a little inspiration? Me, too. We’ve all heard the statistics. One million species worldwide are currently at risk of extinction. Over 5 trillion pieces of plastic are polluting our oceans. The day the Arctic fully melts may happen within our lifetimes. And perhaps most shockingly, the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tells us that we have a ...
Aalborg collaborated with Norwegian thermal battery developer EnergyNest to develop parabolic trough and solar tower systems which can provide dispatchable, predictable power day and night. The system incorporates EnergyNest’s Heatcrete modular direct-steam storage system, an alternative to molten salt ...
ROSAE offers courses for engineers, installers, investors and other professionals with an interest in solar electricity (off-grid and grid-tied) and solar thermal energy. ...
What is Solar Payback About? The aim of the three-year project “Solar Payback” is the long-term reduction of CO2 emissions through the use of heat generated by solar thermal processes in industry. ...
Artic Solar manufactures the game-changing XCPC high-temperature collector, the simplest and most cost-effective source for industrial-scale / commercial solar thermal energy. ...
Artic Solar thermal collectors are normally applied as heating system in solar assisted desiccant cooling systems. The solar system may consist of XCPC collectors using water as fluid and a water storage tank, which will increase the use of the solar ...
The solar thermal collection technologies are field-proven. In the past 15-20 years, product research and development and improved manufacturing have created a new generation of simple, reliable, efficient solar water heating systems. ...
Only two types of solar thermal systems exist. They are the passive systems, which do not require equipment (such as the heat build-up in your car whenever you park it in the sun), and active systems which require a method to absorb, collect and store the solar radiation. ...
The principle behind solar thermal energy is simple: A solar collector absorbs heat from the sun, and fluid warmed by passing through tubes in the collectors is distributed to the appropriate system. ...
As part of their commitment to improving the energy efficiency of all homes and buildings within their borough, Barnsley Council contacted Logic Energy to see if they could assist Dearne Carrfield Primary School in discovering their “green potential” before investing in a renewable energy system. With solar thermal ...
The HarvestHPTM system combines the efficient hybrid solar collectors developed and patented by SunDrum® Solar with the thermal efficiency of water-to-water heat pump technology to provide enhanced system performance. When the sun is shining, the system is in “Active Mode” ...
The Problem: Management of Complex Systems The school’s energy resources include a biodiesel production facility, several large photovoltaic arrays, several solar thermal systems, a wind turbine, a geothermal system, and biomass heating. ...
