About
This project tackles the challenge of generating high-temperature industrial heat, which is often reliant on fossil fuels, by introducing a 3D-printed solar receiver. Using advanced 3D printing and high-temperature materials, the design features a conical cavity and double helix heat exchanger, ensuring uniform heat distribution and improved efficiency. This technology offers a scalable, cost-effective solution for industries like cement and petrochemical production, providing a sustainable alternative for decarbonising industrial heat processes while advancing renewable energy adoption
