Thermosolar systems are operated in solar thermal power plants, which use the heat of the sun as the primary energy source, either by absorption of its radiation or by using warm air.

The heat transfer medium is either HTF (Heat Transfer Fluid) or molten salt. Temperatures of up to +500°C can be reached. This heat is then used either as industrial process heat or used for steam generation. The water vapour is then used to feed a steam turbine like in a steam power plant.

The high tightness requirements at high temperatures and the properties of the carrier medium require special sealing materials. The Quadax® butterfly valves have well proven themselves both in applications of HTF or molten salt at +500°C as well as in steam power plants.
