Ecosense Sustainable
Solutions specializes in providing advanced training equipment that enables
educational institutions to effectively teach renewable energy concepts. The
Solar Thermal Training System is a miniaturized Flat Plate Collector based
water heating system conceptualized as a training system for experiment and
research in the field of Solar Thermal Technology
The installation at CTAE,
Udaipur, was aimed at upgrading the university’s renewable energy curriculum.
With increasing global emphasis on sustainable energy adoption, this system equips
user with real-world knowledge and practical skills highly demanded by industry
and research sectors.
Features and Functionalities of the Solar Thermal Training System
The Solar Thermal Training
System installed by Ecosense comprises various components that simulate
real-life solar thermal applications.
- A high-efficiency solar flat plate collector to
capture solar radiation and water heating.
- Thermal storage unit to highlight energy
retention concepts.
- Instrumentation panels with sensors for
temperature, flow rate, and energy measurement.
- Two modes of operation Thermosyphonic mode and Forced
Mode
- Two auxiliary tanks for continuous operation by
different batches
- Dimmable Artificial Sunlight, controllable wind
speed of fan integrated with collector for simulating environmental
conditions inside the lab
This system allows students
to observe and analyze the direct conversion of solar energy into thermal
energy and assess factors affecting system efficiency in dynamic conditions.
