Solar cooling

The SOLITEM technology works with multiple parabolic trough collectors that are connected in series. These concentrate the sunlight on an absorber pipe through which a heat-conducting fluid flows. The heat, which is concentrated in this fluid, is converted to cooling energy in a steam-driven absorption refrigerator. A system of this type can be used both to operate air-conditioning systems, for example at airports, in hotels or in private and public buildings, and for refrigerating plants, for instance in the food industry. As an alternative to conventional air-conditioning systems and refrigerating plants. The process steam generated can also be used for the warm water supply or for heating purposes.

SOLITEM has already received several awards for its innovations: the Energy Globe Award, the European Solar Prize 2005 and the Global 100 Eco-Tech Award show that the experts are convinced by the SOLITEM technology. In 2008, the company received multiple awards again: the „Kyocera Umweltpreis 2008” (Environmental Award 2008) at the occasion of the BVMW Economy Day and the “CDU-NRW Förderpreis” (award for Innovation from the Christian Democratic Union, CDU, and the federal state, NRW) at the Future- and Innovation Congress.
