Greenore, Ireland OpenHydro
is a technology business that designs and manufactures marine turbines to
generate renewable energy from tidal streams. The company's vision is to
deploy farms of tidal turbines under the world's oceans - silently and
invisibly generating electricity at no cost to the environment. Through this
innovative technology, OpenHydro extracts energy from the oceans in an
economically viable and environmentally sensitive manner.
In order to cure very large composite structures,
Openhydro have ordered four of Caltherm's Mobile Heat Sources. These
are the closest Caltherm have to a standard product, although they do vary in
output capacities and options. They are mobile fan, heating
chamber and control system are used extensively in the composite development
industry to heat temporary insulated structures for component curing. |
