Medium temperature solar thermal energy is a renewable energy source that converts solar energy into thermal energy, used in applications requiring temperatures between 100 and 400 degrees Celsius. In general, medium temperature solar thermal energy systems use collectors different from those used in low temperature systems, typically being more complex and efficient.
Medium temperature solar thermal energy harvesting systems are used for industrial applications. They are different from low temperature systems, which provide domestic hot water, and high temperature systems, which produce steam and generate electrical energy. Medium temperature systems are the focus of this passage, with two types being described:
Solar thermal utilization can be divided into low-temperature thermal utilization (below 80 °C), medium-temperature thermal utilization (80–250 °C) and high-temperature thermal utilization (above 250 °C).
The reliability of solar thermal system for industrial process is a dependant of the following; temperature level of the process heat, climate condition, system integration and design method. The aim of this review is to identify the trend of research development on solar thermal systems for industrial applications. II. PROCESS TEMPERATURE RANGES
The growth of solar thermal system for industrial use is slow relative to the development solar thermal for residential application due to the higher level of temperature required for industrial process and the systems’ low efficiency. A number of research works on the development of solar thermal systems is discussed.
Beyond the residential application of solar thermal energy, there are numerous potential fields of application at a medium and medium – high temperature level. Heat production for industrial processes is the most essential of them (Table 1) .
