Applications cover a broad range of energy services such as space heating, cooking, domestic hot water supply, electrical power generation, and high temperature thermochemical processes. The major developments that have led to currently available technologies for solar thermal energy applications were initiated mainly after the first oil shock in 1973. Solar thermal energy is widely used already for heating purposes (water, space) in the "low" temperature range up to about 100°C employing mainly nonconcentrating collectors, whereas higher temperatures can be achieved with more sophisticated solar collector technologies. Temperatures over 200°C typically require concentrating solar radiation using mirror systems. Several different technologies are described in detail in this volume, including solar collector systems in the lower temperature range, the direct use of solar radiation for food processing, namely cooking and drying, the production of electricity through conversion of solar radiation first to heat, driving a mechanical conversion system coupled to an electric generator, the use of solar radiation to drive chemical processes, and many more. 001445400 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 1, 2022). 001445400 650_0 $$aSolar thermal energy. 001445400 650_6 $$aHéliothermie. 001445400 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001445400 7001_ $$aAlexopoulos, Spiros,$$eeditor. 001445400 7001_ $$aKalogirou, Soteris,$$eeditor. 001445400 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z1071614215$$z9781071614211$$w(OCoLC)1227381620 001445400 830_0 $$aEncyclopedia of sustainability science and technology series.$$x2629-2386 001445400 852__ $$bebk 001445400 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-0716-1422-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001445400 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1445400$$pGLOBAL_SET 001445400 980__ $$aBIB 001445400 980__ $$aEBOOK 001445400 982__ $$aEbook 001445400 983__ $$aOnline 001445400 994__ $$a92$$bISE
