A solar thermal collector that offers an air channel, protection against overheating
CommercialisedRelevant markets:
Solar thermal collector, thermal interface materials, overheating protection
The need
Heating is required for industrial processes (drying, sterilisation, etc.), and heating and cooling is needed in dwellings. The challenge is to decrease CO2 emissions for these applications.
The solution
The solution is a solar thermal collector that offers an air channel, protection against overheating, a shape memory alloy (SMA) spring and thermal interface materials (TIM).
The value proposition
• High performance.
• Low cost.
