TIGI, the Honeycomb Collector company, has completed another installation for provision of water for an industrial system in Israel.

The system – a 240 m² collector array – is installed in Golan Wineries in Katzrin, and provides ~70% of the annual heat energy required for the winery’s barrel and tank washing process.

Each day the winery uses 12 m³ of water at 85 °C for the process.

In sunny summer days the system is designed to supply up to 100% of the energy needs of the winery. When needed, additional energy is provided by a fossil fuel boiler.

The first few months of operation meets expectations and simulation predictions.
