Solar Production of Industrial Process Steam: TRW/ORE-Ida Potato Processing Project, Phase I. Final Report

摘要

The results of the Phase I analysis and design portion of the TRW Energy Systems Group/Ore-Ida Foods project to use solar energy in the potato processing industry are presented. The system concept calls for concentrating solar collectors to collect heat which will be transferred to a flash steam generator where steam will be produced and delivered to a potato fryer heat exchanger. This steam will supplement steam generated by fossil-fuel boilers which also supplies other fryers - the latter will be used for energy consumption comparison. The concept includes no storage.
