Medium-Concetration Solar systems group is part of the Concentrating Solar Systems Unit of the Plataforma Solar de Almer铆a. The activities carried out by the researchers and technicians can be included in some of the following areas of work:聽 </p> <ul> <li>Research, development and/or evaluation of line-focus solar collectors (parabolic troughs and linear Fresnel concentrators) and their components.</li> <li>Research, development and/or evaluation of thermal applications in the temperature range 120 to 500掳C (electricity generation or process heat) with line-focus solar collectors.</li> <li>New heat transfer fluids for line-focus collectors (direct steam generation, pressurized gases, and alternative fluids).</li> </ul> <p>The activities are carried out in the frame of R+D national or international projects with public funding or by mean of R+D contracts and collaboration agreements with private entities for the development and/or evaluation of components, testing methodologies, prototypes design, etc. <br> The members of this research group collaborate actively in national and international standardization committees setting standards for solar thermal concentrating systems.</p> </article></section> <nav class="lateral"> <article><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/menuprojects.css"> <div id="cssmenuareas"> <ul> <li class='active'><a href='/en/units/ufl/index.php'><span>General</span></a></li> <li><a href='/en/units/ufl/proyectos.php'><span>On-going projects</span></a></li> <li><a href='/en/units/ufl/proyectos_old.php'><span>Finished projects</span></a></li> <li><a href='/en/units/ufl/personal.php'><span>Staff</span></a></li> <li><a href='/en/units/ufl/publicaciones.php'><span>Publications</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </article> </nav> <!-- #EndEditable --> </div> </div> <footer> <footer class="caja"> <img src=/images/phone.png align=left width="60"><p>+34 950 387 900</p> </footer> <footer class="caja"> <img src=/images/mail.png align=left width="60"><p><a href="mailto:info@psa.es">info@psa.es</a></p> </footer> <footer class="caja"> <img src=/images/address.png align=left width="60"><p>Ctra. de Senés km. 4,5<br> Tabernas (04200)<br> Almería</p></footer> <br clear="all"> <a href="https://twitter.com/psaciemat"><img src="/images/twitter.png" width="40"></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/plataformasolardealmeria"><img src="/images/facebook.png" width="40"></a> <a href="https://es.linkedin.com/company/psaciemat"><img src="/images/linkedin.png" width="40"></a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@plataformasolardealmeria"><img src="/images/youtube.png" width="40"></a> <div align="center"> <br> <span>Plataforma Solar de Almería</span><br> <div id="piemap">| <a href="/en/legaldocument.php">Legal Document</a> |</div> </div> <div id="overbox3"> <div id="infobox3"> <p>We use our own and third-party cookies (Google Analytics) to collect statistical information and about your preferences by analyzing your browsing habits.
