Activity and Skills

ARRAELA is a technological company located in Galicia, with a great load in the area of investigation of materials and later development of Systems based on the same ones in two main areas, the NUCLEAR one and the one of ENERGY.

In the NUCLEAR area, we have developed highly efficient shielding materials and structural capabilities, as well as highly competitive, which make us leaders in the market for Radioprotection of X-rays, ɣ and Neutrons. A last development executed, has allowed to put in the market a constructive material of high efficiency as barrier to the RADON similar to the membranes but without the problems of risks of puncture of these, among other advantages. In the area of ENERGY, the developments have been focused on the Productive Circle based on the use of energy:

• Energy capture
• Thermal storage
• Transport of stored heat
• Energy extraction and exchange
• Incorporation into the energy process

In such a way that a good capture of thermal energy can be made with a material of own development of high absorptivity (2%) and high conductivity allowing the delivery of the captured energy.

On the other hand, excellent materials that allow us a good thermal accumulation of up to 1MWt/m3 of material, also of our own development, with excellent thermal conductivity in such a way that it allows the use of air as a heating fluid, and working ranges of up to 700ºC, based on Sensitive Heat, competitive and of simple engineering allowing the transport of the captured and accumulated energy.
