SOLAR STEAM SUPPLY: INITIAL OPERATION OF A PLANT

摘要

Saturated steam is a common and widespread medium to transfer heat in industrial processes. To replace a significant amount of process heat from fossil resources one option is the use of solar thermal energy. Within the project "Pilotanlage zur solaren Prozesswarmeerzeugung mit Parabolrinnenkollektoren" (Pilot Plant for Solar Process Heat with Parabolic Trough Collectors) a parabolic trough collector field has been mounted on the roof of an industrial production site to demonstrate the solar supply of saturated steam for a steam network.
