Title: Operation and Design of Selected Industrial Process Heat Field Tests

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6889945· OSTI ID:6889945

The DOE program of solar industrial process heat field tests has shown solar energy to be compatible with numerous industrial needs. Both the operational projects and the detailed designs of systems that are not yet operational have resulted in valuable insights into design and hardware practice. Typical of these insights are the experiences discussed for the four projects reviewed. Future solar IPH systems should benefit greatly not only from the availability of present information, but also from the wealth of operating experience from projects due to start up in 1981.
