NESS ZIONA, Israel, Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- HelioFocus, the Israeli solar thermal company, is developing solar system using dish technology. The company's leading product - the HelioBooster™ is using the dish technology to boost conventional power plants (Combined cycle or Coal).

The HelioBooster™, enables reduction of thesolar needed field size by 30%, it presents the best performance, installation & environmental efficiencies, offering the lowest LCOE provided today in CSP industry.

HelioBooster™ comprises a field of large low cost parabolic dish concentrators (500 sq.m. per dish) that harness temperatures of up to 1000°C. Each dish channels sun radiation onto a proprietary volumetric receiver which generates high temperature air, conducted in a pipe system designed for minimum heat loss and parasitic electricity consumption. The air transferred to a central heat exchanger generates high temperature steam. This steam is delivered to a steam turbine, generating clean electricity.

The HelioBooster™, offers many advantages and can give you the best $ value by providing high efficiency, low LCOE and high output stability. On top of that, the HelioBooster™ has many environmental advantages. It has the most lenient terrain requirements allowing plant construction on a slop of up to 5% and deployment on fragmented land, in addition to a modular design allowing scalable deployment according to power plant location and needs.The system is oil free, using pressurized air as HTF (heat transfer fluid), combined with the reduced land use and minimum land slope constrain, provides a true environmental efficient system.

The high efficiency can be used for multiple applications such as Boosting existing power plants, Stand-alone system, CHP applications and more. The System allows high modularity and flexibility, minimizing financial risks.  

The first HelioBooster is located in the southern part of Israel, proving the great abilities of the system. Commercialization is scheduled for FY2013 with projects in the scale of 10MWe in 2-3 different locations. Market targets are mainly south west US, China and Israel.

Founded in 2007, HelioFocus is based on over 20 years of academic research. The company consists of a qualified management team and a highly experienced R&D engineers with a long legacy in solar thermal technology and engineering. During 2011 HelioFocus received two awards - the Newcomer of the year CSP award  and the Israel Asia chamber of commerce award.

HelioFocus is leveraging its strategic alliances, particularly with its investors, Israel Corporation Green (ICG) and Zhejiang Sanhua company limited, located in China, to establish its position as a global provider of advanced solar thermal solutions.
