Stepping into a green world. Fresnel Solar Concentrator ThermeX Keep the Sun Shining.
ThermeX Fresnel Concentrator ThermeX is a linear Fresnel mirrors solar concentrator for scalable heat generation at temperatures up to 230 C. Completely developed in Italy by Glayx Tech in collaboration with University of Pisa (IT), the system has been designed mainly for small-medium size applications, aiming at: efficient production of solar thermal energy to be used as process heat and/or within power generation; specific cost reduction of solar concentration technology as a key factor to determine global competitiveness for residential, industrial and power generation. ThermeX is the best answer to both purposes. Flexibility. Innovative modular design: easy integration on ground or rooftop installation and collector area / concentration factor customization according to operative process temperature and site; Heat transfer fluid operative temperature up to 230 C; Wide range availability of operative fluid based on system requirements: superheated water, steam, oil; Efficiency. Proprietary design solutions: guaranteeed optical efficiency over 69%; Real scalable solution: wide range of collector area keeping competitiveness from few hundreds to thousands square meters; Integrated manufacturing quality process: high precision reflective surfaces; Automatic cleaning robot Clean- Sun (on request); Convenience. Competitive levelized cost of heat compared to traditional fossil fuels: ThermeX is a cost saving solution for many industrial heat & cooling processes. Product & System provider: on request Glayx EPC offers turnkey installations including customized design, whole plant construction and start-up; 5 years system warranty; ThermeX, it all starts with the sun.

One product, endless applications. ThermeX module outlet temperature extends to 230 C and satisfies over 70% of thermal energy demand from processes worldwide. The system can be applied for the supply of heat at low temperature (60-90 C), in industrial processes (90-200 C) and in power generation, in pure or hybrid CSP combined with geothermal, biomass and waste heat energy sources (over 200 C). One of ThermeX strenght-points is the fulfillment of high thermal-optical efficiency throughout the whole operating temperature range, differently from standard and vacuum flat panels. It enhances the energy storage capability at high temperature with lower volumes, improving overall yearly capacity utilization.

Way to the sun. An integrated production line. Glayx launched a production site fully dedicated to ThermeX manufacturing. The plant, located in the Southern Italy, started its operations in early-2015 and enables the semiautomated production of ThermeX modules with a yearly capacity of over 20.000 m 2 of solar mirrors. The production line is fully integrated and has been designed with high level of innovation. The new plant is a milestone in the ThermeX development path: required accuracy of manufactured mirrors internally checked minimizing production waste; simplification of the overall production cycle involving an impressive reduction of manufacturing time and costs; integrated management system ensuring quality and efficiency to the whole manufacturing process and a proper check on end product. #waytothesun ThermeX track record up to the end of 2014: 25 kw demo plant, Water, Pisa (PI), IT 75 kw demo plant, Water, Peccioli (PI), IT 400 kw Solar cooling and process heat, Water, Isernia (IS), IT 125 kw Solar cooling, Water, Capannori (LU), IT Follow the #waytothesun subscribing at thermex@glayx.com.
