The Rotary Joint Technology

One of the key aspects of CSP parabolic trough technology is the connection of a SCA (Solar Collector Assembly) both with a manifold or in the crossover (in the middle of the loop). The flexible hose has to withstand torsional stresses especially when the SCA is connected to a stationary pipe: in this case, the flexible hose lifespan drops down and catastrophic failure can happen.

Rotary joint avoids completely this issue increasing the reliability of the plant.
