Technical feasibility of the DSG process in horizontal PTs has been proven. More
than 5500 hours of operation have been accumulated at the DISS test facility
Accurate simulation&design tools for DSG solar fields have been developed
The best configuration for commercial DSG solar fields is a mixture of injection
and recirculation. This configuration has been experimentally evaluated at PSA
It is easy to keep the temperature gradients in the receiver pipes within safe limits.
Maximum stress obtained at PSA during operation has been 47% of the limit allowed
