摘要

Thermal energy required for various industrial processes such as manufacturing, refining, chemical synthesis, and power generation is typically generated through the combustion of fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas). Industrial energy demand represents a large proportion of global energy consumption. The concerns about pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions, together with the fossil fuels scarcity encourage the research efforts toward environmentally sustainable energy sources and among them, solar energy is widely available. The direct heating inside concentrating solar collector is investigated as a promising solution for industrial processes requiring thermal power in the medium temperature range, aiming at low installation and maintenance costs. The obtained result show that the capacity factor of the adopted system estimated by 20%, and the evited polled gas ejected is about 27089.07 kg CO2 annually. Although uncommon, the analysis carried out revealed the feasibility of using linear Fresnel collectors within a limited range of design and operating conditions.
