Solar Thermal District Heating
and
Co-Generation
This application of the MTP technology is clearly one
of the most beneficial, both from a cost standpoint
and most importantly for its environmental
stewardship. Because of its capability to function in temperature differential situations off-limits to current technologies, back-up heat sources are not as frequently required. The thermal energy from the collectors first passes through the MTP engine and then to the designated heat sink, either the boreholes in summer or the homes in winter.
In global locales where home heating is not required, the heat storage facility can be used as the heat source for nightime generation.
