System components
• Scheffler Solar concentrators (16m2) with tracking system.
• Steam Receiver
• Steam storage system
• Steam regulation and piping system
• Condensate recirculation system
Water is being filled in to the receivers. Due to the extreme heat at focal point, water inside the receiver boils and produces steam which is being collected from each receiver and stored in a pressurised vessel.
With the reduction in steam pressure from Storage vessel, it is carried and fed to the cooking vessels. The condensate from cooking vessel is again recalculated to the receivers. Thus it is a closed loop system.
A fully automatic electronic tracking (East –west) is provided for individual concentrator. Only seasonal focal adjustment is done manually.
Total system sizing is done on the basis of energy requirement for cooking or other industrial processes.
This system is totally maintenance free and works without any hassle for many years to come!
