A cutting-edge industrial application, capable of delivering super-steam at 250 degree centigrade with 40 bar pressure using the patented Gabriel steam technology.
Solar Steam
For Saving Your Energy
A case for Solar Steam
73% of all industries use steam in at least one of their manufacturing processes. Conventional methods of generating steam involve the burning of a variety of fuels such as oil, gas, naphtha, wood, or biomass. This results in high ongoing cost to the company, amounting to millions, even for a medium-sized industry. With the fuel costs skyrocketing and the reduced availability of fuel in the near future - this is soon becoming an impracticable source for heat-generation.
Further, considering the environmental impact, the effects of global warming and the polluting nature of combustion fuels - moving to a non-polluting, renewable, and uninterrupted source of energy - The Sun - seems like the only meaningful direction to pursue.
How does it work?
Solar Steam Generation
A series of mirror modules focuses the sunlight onto a receiver pipe to generate steam. A steam drum at the end of the collector loop collects the steam and forwards the same via a pressure control unit to the steam header. This system is well-suited to be installed at a new production facility, or for upgrading an existing steam system.
In locations with abundant access to sunlight throughout the year, this system works as a great add-on to the existing system, replacing fuel use during the day for around 310 days every year.
In addition, Gabriel has also patented a steam storage solution that will be launched soon.
