1. Process heat in Jordan Christian Zahler, Industrial Solar GmbH
22 March 2017, Berlin

2. 1. Status Quo – Market EU
Almost 50% is for
heating and cooling

3. How to reduce fossil fuel consumption for process heat?
Challenge of the Century
How to reduce fossil fuel consumption for process heat?
Biomass
Very limited potential, especially in arid areas / ecologically critical / competing with food production
Heat pumps (possibly combined with PV)
Currently thermodynamically inefficient at higher temperatures but upcoming new generation of high temperature heat pumps
Waste heat (e.g. from CHP)
Generally available at lower temperature levels
Conventional solar collectors
Can deliver heat of up to 130 °C, but might be replaced through waste heat, if available
Concentrating
solar collectors
Can deliver heat up to 400 °C

10. Steam Storage Concept Ruth storage used for steam accumulation
Several functions
Steam accumulation
Pressurization
Expansion vessel
Separation of steam from condensate

11. Operation Diagramm Data Center Fluctuating Pressure in Drum
Fluctuating DNI
Fluctuating Pressure in Drum
Very stable pressure in steam network due to solar generated steam
Without irradiation the fossil boiler provides steam
T collector out determined by steam drum pressure
Steam valve opening controls pressure in steam network

12. Steam valve opening controls pressure in steam network
Measurement – 13th May, 2015
Steam valve opening controls pressure in steam network
Steam drum compensates fluctuations in load profile as well as in irradiation
When not all of the potential steam is needed, some of the mirrors are turned out of focus

13. Conclusion Technical System delivers expected performance
Steam drum useful for stable steam supply
Effects of steam drum by-pass to be investigated
Project
Local partner very important (transport, local workforce & communication)
Co-funding by GIZ was helpful to achieve acceptable payback-time of rather small system size
Customs and transport are always a challenge
Market
Industrial Solar received requests over the last years of MWth and commissioned various systems all over the world with different partners
Sustainability becomes more and more part of shareholder value management
Payback-time expectations moves from 2-3 years to 4-7 years
> Solar process heat gains more and more momentum
