Objective
The REACt proposal aims at the introduction in target Mediterranean Partners countries of an advanced and innovative hybrid Solar hot water and Air Conditioning System. Taking into account the climatic, geographical and economic situation of each country, we propose to operate on two systems based on linear parabolic trough collectors. Both systems will be calibrated for two different applications and will act as "test bed" for innovative technologies such as: Direct Steam Generation, never before utilized on systems of this size and purpose; new Diathermic Fluids, optimized for high thermal capacity; high performance double-effect ammonia chillers. Specifically, we propose to operate in view of the placement of the systems in two test areas: a public Hospital in Casablanca (Morocco) and a Tourist resort in Aqaba city, in Jordan. A further site that will be examined is a public Hospital in the city of Baabda, Lebanon, where many of the activities (country analysis, assessments, dissemination) will be performed even if no system will be installed in such site in the framework of this project. The action envisaged here is the introduction of a RES based co-generation system able to produce heat and air conditioning using solar power.
The system works by means of an ammonia based "chiller" which uses heat as input and produces refrigeration and heat as output. The input heat will come from thermal solar linear parabolic collectors.
The main socio-economical objective is to generate nodes of good practice, accelerate local skill development, and promote and encourage relevant stakeholders, on all aspects of an innovative certified technology that is efficient, robust, and suitable for standardised production and replication. The proposed system is a pilot system that will meet different needs and climate conditions under the national strategies and socio-economic conditions of the Mediterranean Partner Countries.
