Direct steam generation

The REACt project (INCO-CT-2003-015434-REACt) aims at the introduction in target Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC) of an advanced and innovative hybrid solar hot water and air-conditioning system. Taking into account the climatic, geographical and economic situation of each country, we propose t

The Sol-14 plant is a solar multi-effect distillation system installed at the Plataforma Solar de Almería, a solar research centre located in southeastern Spain, near Almería. In July 1988 the first start-up of the plant took place, which was connected to the previous existing solar facilities. In t

In this paper different solar systems of seawater distillation are proposed and economically analyzed. The solar collectors are parabolic trough ones in which brine circulates as thermal fluid. Steam is directly obtained from circulating brine. The solar collector field could be connected to condens
