Solar Heating for Industrial Equipment

Low-temperature Solar Heat is Ideal for Many Industrial Processes

American Solar’s heating designs meet America’s largest energy need – heating energy, which is 60% to 80% of all the energy used in industrial applications.

The potential processes that can use the low-temperature heat are as varied as the industries we can serve. Our systems can provide heating to improve the efficiency of:

• Boilers
• Hot Water Systems
• Drying Processes
• Baking Processes
• Heat Pumps

Our systems can improve the efficiency of a process requiring a low-temperature fluid or low-temperature feedstock. We simply take air heated from the building’s exterior metal roof or siding and direct the heated air appropriately.

For example, we can preheat:

• deionized water
• plastic pellets
• chilled fruits and vegetables before processing
• paint booth fresh air supply for spray and bake operations
• hot wash down water for sanitary cleaning
• desiccants for regeneration and humidity control

With the right expertise and equipment, American Solar can supply low cost solar heat to almost all industrial processes.

Solar heating for industry's top energy need

In US industry, 60% to 80% of the energy need is for heating.
