Rioglass - Model RS-UVAC 70-7G - Tubular Heat Collecting Elements
From HCE Tubes
The RS-UVAC 70-7G is based on the RS-UVAC 6G technology, which is an advanced technologically tubular heat collecting element (“HCE”) for Concentrated Solar Power plants (CSP) based on Parabolic Trough technology, and uses synthetic thermal oil as heat transfer fluid (HTF). The RS-UVAC 70-7G is the 7th generation of vacuum tubes that has been developed by Rioglass based on more than 20 years of proven track record of developing HCEs for the solar thermal industry by Solel. The RS-UVAC tubes are built and tested for extreme environmental conditions and complies with strict standards and quality for Power Piping as well as for Boiler & Pressure vessel (e.g.: ASME B31.1, ASME VIII)
Benefits
- Extremely high solar absorption
- Reduced heat losses
- Larger active area
- Increased thermal heat production
- No fluorescent phenomena
- Long-term hydrogen prevention
- Based on over 20-years of field-proven experience
