Overview

Help students discover how heat can be captured, transferred, stored, and converted into usable energy through hands-on renewable energy experiments.

The ThermalEnergy Professional Kit (1306) from leXsolar is a solar thermal energy training system that teaches heat transfer, thermodynamics, solar collector technologies, and concentrated solar power through quantitative laboratory investigations. Designed for CTE programs, technical colleges, engineering programs, HVAC education, and renewable energy training, the system provides a comprehensive platform for studying how thermal energy systems operate in real-world applications.

Using solar collectors, heat exchangers, thermal storage modules, a Fresnel lens, parabolic reflector, and thermoelectric technologies, students investigate the collection, transport, storage, and conversion of thermal energy. The system supports both fundamental heat transfer concepts and advanced solar thermal energy applications while requiring no additional equipment for standard experiments.
