OSTI ID:5284118

A project is described to integrate solar process heat into the process hot water and steam services for a California laundry facility. The development, design, performance, safety, maintenance, and production of a tracking parabolic trough collector are described. The process analysis, insolation data, system design, instrumentation system design, collector mounting structure, and system construction are presented. Economic analyses are performed and compared for El Centro, California, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Omaha, Nebraska for several concepts, and estimated costs are given. (LEW)
