Adaptation of a solar energy complex with parabolic concentrator troughs for effective use in the climate conditions of the southern Tyumen region
The article is devoted to the development of alternative energy in the south of the Tyumen region. This article proves that it is possible to use renewable energy sources not only in the southern corners of the World, but also in regions with a difficult climate. The main condition is a rational approach to the issue and the adaptation of a specific system for effective use. An important aspect for the efficient operation of the energy complex is the correct choice of the type, design and size of the heat exchanger. The main difficulty in using the heat exchanger in conjunction with concentrating solar systems is the inability to control the temperature of the coolant circulating in the concentrator troughs. The specifics of the Tyumen climate, the unfavorable temperature regime, make it necessary to make structural changes to the usual design of the solar energy complex, in order to avoid or minimize the effects of climate on the system and increase its efficiency.
