Application of Solar Thermal Energy Storage for Industrial Process Heating

Abstract:

A massive deployment of solar thermal technology is required in those industries which use large quantities of low temperature hot water for the economic operation. With the rise in fuel cost and scarcity now, there is a significant research, development and application in solar industrial process heating. Due to the unavailability of solar energy during non sunny days and diurnal changes throughout the day, storage of thermal energy is inevitable. Recent developments nationally and internationally may rekindle new applications of solar thermal energy use by industry. This paper reviews the application of solar industrial process heating in paper industry.
