Solenergi i Industriell Processvaerme. En foerstudie av Svenska Moejligheter (The Potential for solar Heat for Industrial Processes: A Preliminary Study of Swedish Possibilitites).

摘要

This report starts with a short introduction to solar thermal energy applications in Sweden and the utilization of energy in general in the Swedish industry. The investigation is focusing on options for industrial solar heating applications. As waste heat recovery in many cases is competing with, or might be supplemented by solar heat, this field is also given some attention in the study. The conclusions are numerous, mainly within food- and mechanical industries, but that low prices on energy, unused potentials for heat recovery and low awareness about the possibilities for solar heat makes the situation tough today. Increasing prices on electricity and oil and decreasing costs for solar energy combined with a continuously growing awareness about environmental issues are key factors that speak for solar heating in a longer perspective.
