Fresnex will install a 800m² direct steam generating, concentrated solar heat (CSH) system at plant of Givaudan near Barcelona as part of the HyCool EU project.

HyCool Project Mission is increasing the current use of Solar Heat in Industry Processes, and to do so the project proposes the coupling of a new Fresnel Concentrated Solar thermal Heat (CSH) collectors  system with specially build Hybrid Heat Pumps (HHP) (a “two-in one” combination of adsorption and compressor based heat pumps) for a wider output temperature range (Solar Heating & Cooling –SHC-), and a wide range of design and operational configurations to increase the potential implementation of the proposed Solar Heat in industrial environments.

This project has received funding from the European Union's H2020 programme under Grant Agreement No. 792073.
