INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS

Solar air heating for industrial operations.

Applications for facilities that consume energy to heat ventilation air or process air.

SECTORS & USE CASES

One technology. Different heating demands.

Explore where solar air preheating may reduce conventional heat demand. Final suitability depends on site climate, installation area, air temperatures, ventilation requirements and operating hours.

General manufacturing

Heat ventilation and replacement air across high-volume production floors and industrial facilities.

Automotive & paint shops

Preheat outside air for paint booths, flash-off areas, assembly buildings and heated make-up air.

Aerospace & defence

Support ventilation and temperature-controlled air requirements in aerospace manufacturing and specialist production.

Home appliances

Reduce conventional heating demand in appliance assembly, coating and metal-processing facilities.

Food & beverage

Preheat fresh air for production, wash-down ventilation and selected drying operations where process temperatures allow.

Building materials

Support controlled ventilation and suitable process-air heating in ceramics, glass and building-product manufacturing.

Tobacco drying & processing

Use solar preheated air in relevant tobacco preparation and drying workflows, subject to process and hygiene requirements.

Packaging & printing

Improve fresh-air heating for printing, packaging production and suitable drying or air-replacement processes.

Hospitals & healthcare

Support energy-efficient fresh-air preheating in healthcare buildings where air-handling and hygiene rules permit integration.

Warehousing & logistics

Preheat incoming ventilation air in logistics hubs, warehouses and distribution buildings.

Commercial & institutional

Lower heating energy demand for selected institutional and commercial fresh-air systems.

FROM INDUSTRY TO PROJECT

Engineering starts with your facility.

First assess the use case

Climate and solar irradiation, south-facing façade or roof availability, operating hours, air volume and target temperatures.

Then model useful heat

Annual and seasonal production demand, expected solar contribution, integration requirements and project-specific emissions savings.
