As the Oct. 31 deadline for an initial design review approaches, the four participants in the Energy Research and Development Administration's (ERDA) industrial process hot water program are putting the final touches to plans for solar systems that will supplement conventional energy sources in the textile, food processing, concrete block and cleaning industries. Participating in the project are AAI Corp., Baltimore, which designed a solar hot water system for the concrete block curing operation of York Building Products Co., Harrisburg, Pa.; Acurex Corp., Mountain View, Calif., which designed a solar hot water system for a can washing line at the Campbell Soup Co. plant in Sacramento, Calif.; General Electric Co., Philadelphia, which designed a solar hot water system for Riegel Textile Corp., La France, S.C.; and Jacobs Engineering Co., Pasadena, Calif., which designed a solar hot water and steam system for commercial laundry use at American Linen Supply in El Centro., Calif.
