  1. Seeking Boiler Owners Interested In Solar Steam Generation

  2. Best Cost Concentration • A Better Focus Co. is dedicated to closing the cost gap between traditional steam generation and solar steam. • Design Goals • Lowest materials cost • Superior performance to glass mirror systems • Good long-term weatherability

  3. A Better Focus Company • Manufactures concentrating dishes for solar cooking applications

  4. Vacu-Dish TechnologyHow Does it Work? Reflective film is precisely stretched across a perfectly round frame A tight seal is required so that a vacuum can be pulled inside the frame

  5. With Application of vacuum, The film deforms into a concave shape, focusing light to a single hot spot. The backboard also becomes slightly concave, Increasing the total strength of the assembly U.S. Patent #7374301

  6. A Better Focus Company • Has scaled up this proven dish design to 8’ diameter for power applications

  7. A Better Focus Company • And constructed a ¼ scale model of a 4-dish tracking structure

  8. A Better Focus Company • Thermal test data from ¼ scale model

  9. Next Step- Full Scale Unit • We are seeking a company or institution that has a need for steam or hot water, and is interested in jointly developing a full scale unit for solar steam generation • 25 HP (68KBTU / hr.) of steam (or pressurized hot water)generation, configured as a mini power-tower • Up to 100 PSI • Scalable up to 125 HP (100 Kw) by adding additional trackers • Desired partner attributes • Industrial/Institutional user with a year-round need for steam or pressurized hot water • Must have good solar resource • Must be willing to share performance data • Must be willing to share in the construction costs • A Better Focus Co. is willing to share intellectual property jointly developed.

  10. Next Step- Full Scale Unit • For more information • Go to www.abetterfocus.com • View technical papers delivered at American Solar Energy Society Conferences • Email Doug@abetterfocus.com • Call 330-309-2495 Live demonstrations of this unique technology will be performed during the 2010 ASES conference in Phoenix, Arizona. May 20-23, 2010
