2. Critical issues for solar integration
Drying may require large quantities of heat, when large quantities of material have to be processed. When the produced solar heat is not enough, a boiler in parallel with the solar collector can provide the necessary heat for the process (Joanneum Research). In small production units, when there are long intervals between two operations, the heat storage tank cannot sufficiently store the thermal energy until it’s used. In these cases the surplus of produced heat, during the days of no production, should be used for other processes also if that is possible (Joanneum Research).
