    PTMx is Soltigua's parabolic trough solar collector that can be used for a wide range of applications like industrial process heat, solar cooling, and small-scale power generation. It provides heat up to 250°C and uses innovations to harvest solar energy efficiently like large solar plants. For industry, PTMx can offset 30%+ of fuel costs and reduce emissions by integrating solar to meet constant or peak heating demands. It also enables solar cooling using absorption chillers. PTMx has a modular design and comes in models from 41-82 sqm to integrate easily into new or existing systems.

    A new horizon

    for solar energy


    Soltigua presents PTMx,
    the parabolic solar collector
    for a wide range of applications.
    PTMx: the parabolic trough
    for a wide range of applications
    PTMx PTMx, Soltigua’s parabolic trough, is developed and produced in Italy. Due to several innovations,
    PTMx includes all the advantages of solar concentration that used to be available exclusively in
    large solar thermal power stations.
    Today, this innovative technology becomes available for a wide range of applications.

    Industrial Soltigua’s PTMx parabolic solar collector harvests the energy of the sun to provide heat to
    process heat industrial processes for generating hot water, steam, hot oil and hot air.
    Thanks to the abundant solar radiation available throughout the solar belt, a vast number of
    industrial processes can integrate traditional energy sources with solar energy. Energy savings
    and environmental pollution reduction are particularly efficient in processes where daily and
    annual demand for heat is constant, or where peaks of demand are reached during summer (e.g.:
    dry-cleaning facilities for tourist resorts).
    PTMx can generate process heat up to 250°C by heating steam, thermal oil or water, both directly
    or indirectly depending on what is best for each industrial process. PTMx modular design makes it
    simple to integrate solar energy also into existing industrial systems.

    Solar Solar cooling generates air conditioning from solar energy and takes advantage of summer high
    cooling solar radiation and the need for air conditioning during the same period, thus reducing significantly
    energy consumption during peak hours.
    By feeding high temperature heat to a double effect water-lithium bromide absorption chiller, PTMx
    permits the maximum exploitation of the solar potential with an energy efficiency which can not
    be reached by other solar technologies. PTMx can be integrated into a complete HVAC system that
    contributes also to hot water production and winter heating.
    Furthermore, by using clean and renewable solar energy, concentrating collectors such as
    PTMx represent the most appropriate technology for realising solar district heating and
    cooling systems.

    Further PTMx can also be applied in:


    applications - localised power station plants;
    - industrial refrigeration at temperatures below 0°C;
    - seawater desalination plants.

    02
    1 m2 of PTMx can produce over 1000 kWh
    annually at 150°C, hence avoiding the
    emission of over 200 kg of CO2 into the
    atmosphere1.

    Cost savings Integrating Soltigua collectors in the existing heating process is a convenient option which gives:

    - Rapid return on investment

    - Strong operating cost reduction
    - Reduction of CO2 emissions

    Case study A steam process for the pharma industry in India, which consumes more than 400’000 liters of
    diesel per year can offset more than 30% of its annual bill by installing a solar filed with a collecting
    surface of 1’134 m2.
