UWCSEA Solar Thermal Energy Plant. In Singapore. “The solar collectors are installed on the rooftop of the buildings and cover an area of 3,900m². The system generates about 1,750MWh/yr, making it the largest solar thermal cooling plant in the world. Electricity produced by the system energises a 1,500kW cooling unit. It is a single-effect chiller which uses a solution of lithium bromide as absorber and water as refrigerant. (...) The collectors can operate at temperatures of about 100°C and provide a constant temperature of 88°C for the cooling unit. (...) [Austrian company] Solid built and installed the solar cooling plant at the new campus. SAS-ES [Solid Asia Energy Services] operates the facility as an Energy Service Company (ESCo).” Inaugurated December 02011! #solar #energy #air-conditioning #refrigeration
