Development of a concrete parabolic trough collector [PDF]
Current parabolic trough collector development mainly aims at cost reduction. Within the project ConSol the goal was to reduce material and production costs by using high-performance concrete for the parabola shell itself and also for part of the tracking system.

Improvement Design of Parabolic Trough
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 ...
