Press Release: SkyFuel : SkyFuel Completes Efficiency Testing of the SkyTrough DSP Collector

ARVADA, CO--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2014) - SkyFuel, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced parabolic trough systems used for utility-grade electricity generation and industrial steam applications, recently completed efficiency testing of its large-aperture SkyTrough DSP� collector.�Efficiency of the collector reached 76% while tracking the sun and represents a significant milestone in the development of high efficiency, low-cost parabolic troughs for solar thermal power generation systems.�SkyFuel's DSP� collector measures 7.6 meters at the aperture and 150 meters in length, a 65% comparable surface area increase to SkyFuel's current commercial SkyTrough collector.�SkyFuel expects the combined high efficiency and economy of scale from increased surface area to result in a 20% cost reduction over current state-of-the-art systems.�In addition, SkyTrough DSP has been designed to accommodate high temperature molten salt as the working fluid, reducing the cost of thermal storage and increasing the efficiency of power generation systems.
