ABSORPTION HEAT TRANSFORMERS FOR PROCESS HEAT GENERATION FROM SOLAR PONDS.

Author(s) : GROSSMAN G.

Summary

SOLAR PONDS PROVIDE INEXPENSIVE MEANS FOR COLLECTING AND STORING SOLAR HEAT AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 100 DEG C. THE MOST COMMON APPLICATION OF THIS HEAT TO DATE HAS BEEN THE GENERATION OF ELECTRIC POWER, THE OVERALL EFFICIENCY IS ON THE ORDER OF 1 %. THIS WORK IS CONCERNED WITH THE USE OF HEAT FROM SOLAR PONDS TO GENERATE PROCESS STEAM, PERFORMED AT RELATIVELY HIGHER EFFICIENCY. THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE OPERATION OF THE HEAT TRANSFORMATION PROCESS AND PROVIDES QUANTITATIVE RESULTS.
