Parabolic-Trough Technology Roadmap January 1999 COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT This section focuses on technology development of components or subsystems of the collector and solar field. Collector components include all the components and subsystems that are part of the modular trough concentrator assemblies. The basic subsystems are the structure, receiver, reflector, tracking system, interconnecting piping, and the control system. Solar field systems requiring further development include direct steam generation in the field itself, and thermal storage. The key technology metrics for each of the subsystems are shown in Table 4. Time lines for various subsystem technology alternatives are shown in Figure 10 (see page 23). TROUGH STRUCTURE This subsystem includes all of the structure, including the foundations, pylons, trusses and torque tubes, mirror and receiver support arms, and fasteners. The structure establishes and maintains optical alignment of the parabolic shape, withstands the wind, and supports the other subsystems. This category also includes all labor required to install and align the structure during construction, and subsequent O&M of the structure during the life of the project. The baseline structure of the SEGS LS-3 structure is shown in Figure 8. It consists of steel trusses mounted on periodic pylons set in concrete foundations, and is designed to withstand winds of 70 mph (31.3 m/s) in a collector stow position. The precise parabolic reflector shape is provided by shaped glass mirror panels that are accurately supported and positioned by the structure. The structure weighs approximately 32 kg/m2. The LS-3 design was optimized for large (80-MW) projects, with interconnected collector assemblies in long rows of about 300 m. Cost issues include the required degree of conservatism in the design (dictated by wind forces), the ability to maintain alignment over time, and the basic design philosophy. Other approaches to trough structure exist Figure 8. Schematic of a third-generation LUZ parabolic-trough collector (LS-3) Page 19

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
