Improvement Design of Parabolic Trough
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2017 The performance of parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) has been evaluated using different heat transfer working fluids; namely water and SAE20 W50 engine oil. New and slightly improved PTSC was developed to run the experimental study. Under the meteorological conditions of Malaysia, authors found that PTSC can operate at a higher temperature than ...

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 ...
