Future of energy: solar thermal energy Alejandro Campos Fischer General Manager, Paradigma Iberica
The ecological disaster of Chernobyl (1986) was the motivation of our principal shareholder to invest in alternative and renewable energy sources. For more than 20 years, the Ritter Group contributes to greater energy efficiency and sustainable climate protection by offering ecological energy solutions. Economic activities can, in the long run, only be successful if they are in conformity with mankind and nature. Alfred T. Ritter

Ritter Solar Technology AQUA-System High efficient: Vacuum tube technology with CPC mirror High temperatures: 120ºC, Bucket principle Durable (> 20 years): Water instead of anti-freezing compound Simple and reliable: Almost no moved parts, low maintenance Intelligent: Highly sophisticated controller
Engine: High efficient - CPC Evacuated Tube Collector
Feeding algorithm - the bucket principle Solar heat is collected and stored in the evacuated tubes of the collector If there is enough heat in the collector ( bucket is filled up) the pump is switched on and transfers the heat into the storage tank High solar supply temperature: min. 60 C, average 75 C, max. 90 C
Highlight Aqua - heat transfer medium - water Characteristic Unit Glycol mixture Water specific heat capacity, 20 C [kj/kg.

Intelligent frost protection function Our solar system only uses water as a heat transfer medium The anti-freeze protection avoids that the water in the solar system freezes in case of low temperatures In case of low temperatures the pump connect in intervals depending on the collector sensor and the length of the pipe work outside Minimum energy input Acoustic warning in case of malfunction
As brilliant as it is simple : collector used as heating boiler New: Before: collector used as used heating as preheater! boiler!
NYPA Metro, New York, 2010 Washing plant for trains 70...90 C Gross collector area 164 m² Buffer tank volume 15 m³ Max. continuous power 85 kw Yield / Year 105 MWh
District Heating, Austria, 2011 Support for district heating network 95 C Gross collector area 3.388 m² Buffer tank volume 5 m³ Max. continuous power 1,7 MW Yield / Year 1.300 MWh
Metro, Istanbul, 2009 Solar cooling and heating 95/75 C Gross collector area 1.031 m² Buffer tank volume 15 m³ Max. continuous power 0,5 MW Yield / Year 650 MWh
Warehouse, Portugal, 2012 Domestic hot water 95/60 C Gross collector area 12 m² Buffer tank volume 1500 L. Max. continuous power 9,24 KW Yield / Year 11 MWh
