Solar Heating & Cooling: Energy for a Secure Future
CASE STUDY: GATORADE FACTORY
A new industrial process solar water heating system at a Gatorade beverage factory in Phoenix produces more than one million kilowatt hours of heat energy per year. Each of the 85, 10.5 m² solar collectors manufactured by OEKOTECH has exceeded the estimated output of 1200 kWh/year.
CASE STUDY: GENERAL HYDROPONICS
Cogenra Solar installed an innovative solar photovoltaic electricity and water heating cogeneration system at General Hydroponics, a leading developer of hydroponic agricultural systems, nutrient formulas, and related products. Solar cogeneration produces hot water and electricity through a combined photovoltaic and thermal module.
CASE STUDY: KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE
New Mexico’s Kirtland Air Force Base installed the first active solar water heating system on an Air Force facility in December 2010. The base now captures the sun’s energy to heat the aquatic center on base. The solar water heating installation comprises an array of 72 collectors that transfer heat to a closed-loop water and propylene glycol mixture.
