A flat plate solar collector that uses clean energy to make heat.
In the process of making things, industries burn fossil fuels to make heat in the form of steam, hot water, or hot oil in boilers. One-third of the CO2 that is released into the atmosphere comes from this process. In order to help with important environmental problems, the LF20: Linear Fresnel Solar Collector uses mirrors that follow the sun to concentrate solar energy into heat. This energy is focused into a receiver, which is a separate vacuum tube absorber, where it is used to make steam, hot oil, or hot air. Because of this heat, the Solution not only lowers the CO2 emissions of the industry, but it also lowers the energy bill of the client. This price drop is made possible by its innovative design, which lets solar energy be turned directly into heat instead of first being turned into electricity and then into heat. Another good thing about the Solution is that it can get very hot (up to 350 oC). Conventional solar flat plate collectors can’t make heat at temperatures over 120 oC, which is what many industries need.
