The International Conference on “Reduction of water consumption in CSP plants” in Marrakech on 24th-25th April 2018 showed how water in CSP plants can be saved by applying new approaches in mirror cleaning, cooling system solutions and overall plant...

A new type of fan rotor has been designed by the University of Stellenbosch specifically for the MinWaterCSP project to obtain a high design point efficiency and low noise.  Measurements will be conducted to obtain the fan aerodynamic performance as well as to...

Air-cooled condensers for dry heat rejection are generally enlarged on the air side by different kind of fins, such as louvered fins, wavy fins or offset strip fins. These fins are manufactured by metal sheets and connected to the tube walls by a metal-joining...

International conference hosted by the Horizon 2020 project MinWaterCSP, Marrakech, Morocco, 24th - 25th April 2018   Join us for a unique opportunity to learn about the latest developments to minimize water consumption in CSP plants. Increase your...

In this blog, the MinWaterCSP project partners Fraunhofer ISE (Germany) and Waterleau (Belgium) will give some insights into their work in the project to achieve water savings in CSP and answer two questions: How to develop treatment strategies in Belgium...

MinWaterCSP aims to reduce the annual water consumption of a CSP plant through a number of complementary measures while maintaining or even improving thermal efficiency and reducing capital costs. This is done through a holistic combination of next...

Technology background The accumulation of unwanted deposits on the surfaces of heat exchangers is usually referred to as fouling. The presence of these deposits represents a resistance to the transfer of heat and therefore reduces the efficiency of the entire heat...

Euronews’ Denis Loctier visited their concentrated solar power (CSP) plant, where he spoke to the coordinator of the EU-funded project, MinWaterCSP, Falk Mohasseb (Kelvion Holding). On 18th September, the team of Euronews TV visited IRESEN’s Green Energy Park to...
