Subproject: Thermomechanical basis for thin glass tempering

Description: Das Projekt "Subproject: Thermomechanical basis for thin glass tempering" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Technische Universität Darmstadt, Institut für Statik und Konstruktion, Fachgebiet Statik durchgeführt. Tempered glass is one of the most important goods required for solar energy conversion products, especially in photovoltaics. The market development shows that thinner tempered glasses (thickness less than 3 mm) are very promising to allow for a light, easy-to transport and easy-to mount end user product. The tempering process itself requires a huge amount of energy during the heating phase and the quenching phase. Especially the cooling phase is crucial, because forced convection with pressurized air is required in order to achieve high heat transfer coefficients that are needed to achieve the required mechanical product properties. The goal of the project is to further develop the thin glass tempering process, reduce the amount of energy required during this process and develop a thin glass photovoltaic panel prototype. The research also increases the basic knowledge to reduce the energy consumption of the traditional thick glass tempering processes. A) Thermo-mechanical analysis of the thin glass tempering process (TU Darmstadt, TU Tampere, Glaston) B) Temper process optimization for thin glass tempering by change of machinery equipment (TU Darmstadt, TU Tampere, Glaston, CentroSolar Glas) C) Mechanical analysis and production of new thin-glass PV-panels (TU Darmstadt, TU Tampere, Centro Solar).
