The increasing need for clean renewable energy sources has helped spur research in solar driven processes. Through photovoltaic, trough, and high concentration solar, researchers understand the benefit of deriving energy directly from the sun. New innovations are pushing the limits of material tolerances and life expediencies. Temperature Characterization and thermal stress values associated with solar testing can greatly assist in the search for usable materials.
When your thermal test requires focused localized temperatures at the test site, ThermalAir TA-5000 temperature inducing equipment can be used to provide temperatures for a variety of environmental test applications.
