PROCESOL II Solar thermal plants in industrial processes -Design and Maintenance Guidelines

Description / table of contents

The PROCESOL II project aims to promote the implementation of solar thermal systems coupled with heat recovery technologies in the industrial sectors of the participant countries (Greece, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, France and Belgium). The industrial process loads examined are those using hot water with temperature requirements up to about 900C.

The brochure may concern, among others, the following categories: designers, consultants and decision-makers in the industrial sector with a technical background, solar thermal experts and technicians etc.

Why publish a brochure for solar plants in industry?

• Solar plants in industry have some specific characteristics. Moreover, they are becoming numerous and according to both the PROCESOL II project as well as IEA Task 33 [IEA, ongoing], their potential is high.
• The experience gained thus far has shown that the lack of correct design and maintenance has often been the main reason for unsuccessful solar applications.
