Iranian Company Manufactures Solar Furnace to Generate Electricity
“The main field of our company's activities is the designing, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of solar furnace generators to supply electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and even agricultural units,” Saeed Ashkesh, the managing director of the company, told ANA.
“Our company's product is solar furnace thermal generator installations with production capacities between 10 and 500 kilowatts per hour 24 hours a day with the help of a combined cycle of gas and solar energy,” he added.
Ashkesh explained that the continued production of electricity around the clock, the absence of the need for batteries to store energy, and the production of more electricity relative to the space used compared to solar panels are the advantages of the solar furnace.
In a relevant development in December, a knowledge-based company in Iran had succeeded in designing and building a portable solar water desalination device.
“Our knowledge-based company has succeeded in designing and building a portable solar water purifier which can float on seawater, salt water, or even collected rainwater and it effectively absorbs sunlight and converts it into heat,” Farzaneh Heshmati, one of the company's researchers from Tarbiat Modarres University, told ANA.
Noting that the device maximizes the rate of water evaporation and condenses and collects the purified water by using a special technology, he said, “The final output of the device is fresh and germ-free water that is completely disinfected and suitable for drinking.”
“This device is completely solar and does not require electrical energy or moving parts like a pump to operate,” Heshmati said.
