Parabolic Trough Solar Technology [PDF]
, 2012 Parabolic trough (solar) collectors (PTCs) are technical devices to collect the energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it typically into thermal energy at temperature ranges of 150-500°C at industrial scale. The cylindrical trough shape of the reflecting surface with parabolic section of the mirror shape has the ability to concentrate the ...
