System Description in Summary
A set of uniquely designed panels absorb solar heat and transfer it to a thermal storage unit. The system is based on two closed loop streams. One stream comprises either hot or cold water loops and the other employs a special fluid with very high thermal expansion coefficient, using a CVMR® manufactured special nano metal powder made specifically for this purpose.
A hydraulic rectifier is employed to convert these two oscillatory motions into a continuous motion. A hydraulic motor propels a power generator at 900 rpm.
