  • The Scientists from ARCI-International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials operating under DST (Department of Science and Technology), Ministry of Science & Technology have developed cost effective solar receiver tube technology.
  • The tubes developed absorbs solar energy and converts the heat to required application.
  • They provide high resistance to corrosion especially to Indian weather conditions.
  • The Technology is a wet chemical process that is used to coat stainless steel tubes that are used in industrial heat applications.
  • The tubes manufactured by this technology absorbs 93% of radiant energy and 14% of emittance.
  • Emittance is the amount of light emitted by an area of a radiating surface.
