Design, optimization and economic viability of an industrial low temperature hot water production system in Algeria: A case study

Abstract: Solar energy has a great potential in many areas of industrial activity in Algeria. This is because most of Algeria has high levels of sustainable solar insulation. Unfortunately, few industries use solar energy for hot water generation, but some industrial processes require hot water at temperatures that can be easily obtained from solar thermal panels. This paper presents a case study to investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a solar-powered industrial agro-processing system in Algiers. Based… Show more

“…Experimental results by Garcia et al [11] in the meat industry with large volumes at temperatures above 80 0 C have shown that the deployment of solar hot water systems using ETC can be profitable in a wide range of locations and scenarios in Europe and that a return on investment (1.1€ per € invested) can be achieved and the heat supply can exceed 50% of the energy demand of almost 85000kWh/year. Among the technoeconomic performance studies in Africa, a case study was conducted to investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a solar-powered industrial agro-processing system in Algiers [14]. Based on the connection type of the solar collector for which the economic feasibility study was carried out, an appropriate design of the system was determined by analyzing the LCOH savings.…”
