Ecotherm Austria

Ecotherm offers a complete solar steam generation system for industry that permits a reduction of up to 30 % of the oil and gas consumption of existing steam boilers. Moving mirrors concentrate the incoming solar radiation on to the receiver. Motors allow the mirrors to track the movement of the sun. The water in the receiver vaporises. Steam of up to 250 °C can be generated and integrated into existing steam systems. In addition, Ecotherm also offers a new high-performance flat-plate heat exchanger with high peak capacity and a large heat exchange surface.

Ecotherm installed 32 thermal solar systems with a total collector surface of 1,336 m2 for the Royal Oman Police Hospital. The average collector area per unit is 42 m². The plants are equipped with touch-screen control systems and comprise 71 storage tanks with a volume of 750 litres each. A weatherproof Alucobond insulation was developed for 19 of the storage tanks. The reheating is supplied by integrated ceramic heating elements (9 kW per storage tank).

The "EHRE high capacity water heater" saves energy, space and maintenance costs. Ecotherm has more than 35 years of experience in the production of stainless steel water heaters. In the past 15 years, several ten thousand water heat storage systems have been delivered from Mexico to China.

A customised, turnkey Ecotherm hot water boiler package was delivered to an industrial plant in Norway. The project was carried out and managed by Lenox Systems Ltd, Ecotherms franchisee in the UK. The system consists of a pre-assembled and pre-wired hot water boiler with a patented Ecotherm shell and tube heat exchanger with free floating turbulator rods.

Sun Master and Ecotherm Austria were presenting their products at the "SHK Moscow", Russia’s platform for sanitation, heating, air-conditioning, renewable energy sources, water supply and water treatment. Sun Master and Ecotherm cooperate in the field of large-scale project implementation. Ecotherm is technology and innovation leader in turnkey solar, hot water and steam systems in the Middle East. Both Sun Master and Ecotherm aim to establish themselves on the Russian market.

Ecotherm developed an innovative insulation system for hot water tanks with a capacity from 200 to 20,000 litres. It features non-woven fabric and patented covering rosettes for the splices. The outer jacket is robust and can be designed individually. After a 2 years period of development, the manufacturing facilities for the new insulation system were extended to the new production hall of Ecotherm in Hartkirchen/Upper Austria.
