Parabolic Trough Technology-1

Global Green Energy Solutions Most Trusted global technology for Steam generation Maharishi Renewable Energy P.Ltd has an exclusive collaboration with for manufacturing and marketing of their parabolic trough technology for steam generation. Abengoa is the world leader and has the most bankable parabolic trough technology for Steam generation. Manufacturing of parabolic trough in India makes it the most economical solution for solar steam generation. Applications Hot Water Tanks Hot Water Tanks use electricity to maintain a constant hot liquid temperature (70°C to 90°C) where heat losses due to open tanks are very high, costing companies a lot of money. Domestic Hot Water Supply Expansion Tank Cold Water Inlet Hot Water Storage Tank with Immersed Coil Heat Exchangers Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors Solar Pump Our Solar collectors work very efficiently because it has to maintain low temperatures for longer periods of time. Above is a schematic diagram of how our solar energy will benefit in maintaining constant temperature in water and chemical tanks saving companies a lot of money. Process Steam Generation Expansion Tank Saturated Steam Check Valve Steam Header Circulating Pump Level Control Parabolic Concentrator Solar Field Unified Steam Generator Boiler Feed Water Process Steam Generation Our Trough systems can be used to support almost any kind of thermal load for industrial or commercial applications, including: Steam Generation Process Hot Water Production Desalination Industrial and Domestic Hot Water Heating Food Processing (Washing, Cleaning, Cooking, etc) Space Heating and Cooling The fuel costs and environmental consequences of heating or cooling a building with electricity or natural gas are very significant. To offset these effects, our trough systems can be used for space heating or with an absorption chiller for space cooling.

Parabolic Trough Technology-2

International Projects Frito Lay, Modesto, California This PT-1 System comprises 54,500 ft2 (5,068 m2) of solar collectors and operates at temperatures up to 470°F (243°C) to produce 300 psig (21 bar) steam. The steam heats the oil used for cooking corn and potato chips. This is the largest operating solar process heat system in the United States. Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas This RMT System has an aperture area of 4,515 ft2 (420 m2) and is mounted on the roof of building 902 at the base. The collectors heat water to 220°F (104°C) in a district heating loop. The system is used to deliver...
