Industrial Hot Air Generator

Sharad Parekh from University college of engineering & Technology, Ahmedabad developed a Straut AERO: Solar industrial hot-air generator with the help of his guide Dr Nilesh Bhatt.
The hot air is a preferred choice of the industry as a source of process heat fluid when compared with other sources like thermal fluid or water. The industries currently use natural gas, coal or biomass as a fuel to heat air. A typical small industry consumes about 20-30 one million British Thermal Units (MMBTU) per day for hot air. However, the increasing cost of fossil fuels and emissions are a continuous concern.
