Storage & Solar Technology Seminar 4/16

12 interested specialist craftsmen from the Netherlands visited the OEG at the Lienen production site from Friday to Saturday.

On Friday, the group started in the early afternoon with a tour of the memory production. All important and interesting production steps were explained live: from the automated winding of the stainless steel corrugated pipe and the heat exchangers, through the plasma cutter and welding stations, to the foaming of the high-quality insulation.

Then the solar and storage seminar started. Here, the focus was primarily on the 4flex + ® heatpipe tube and hygiene storage. The demand for solar thermal energy is currently rising strongly due to the promotion of solar systems on the Dutch market. An important topic on this day was the promotion by the RVO and above all the most important quality features of the 4flex tube were discussed in detail. The customers were particularly enthusiastic about the integrated temperature shutdown, the low maintenance and the very easy installation of the 4flex solar systems. With a 20-year warranty on the solar tubes and a 10-year warranty on the OEG storage, the specialist tradesman stands out from the competition in customer talks.

All participants made intensive discussions and after the subsequent dinner they exchanged experiences late into the night.
