Solar thermal collectors and applications
Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2004In this paper a survey of the various types of solar thermal collectors and applications is presented. Initially, an analysis of the environmental problems related to the use of conventional sources of energy is presented and the benefits offered by renewable energy systems are outlined.

Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2005
Abstract The paper presents a hybrid solar collector converting the solar energy into both thermal and electric ones. Thus, the solar energy losses are captured to obtain co-generation. The research was conducted at the “Renewable Energy Sources” Laboratory at the Technical University – Sofia, established under the European Tempus Program.

Elastomeric sealants employed in thermal solar collectors are subjected to extremely harsh conditions. In order to function properly for long periods of time, they must exhibit good resistance to environmental factors such as high and low temperature extremes, oxygen, ozone, water, and ultraviolet radiation.

Concentrating Solar Collectors [PDF]
, 1985 This chapter provides an introduction to concentrating solar collectors. The optical and thermal characteristics are described in relatively simple terms, and copious references to the more technical literature are given. A unified framework is used for analyzing the performance of all solar collector types; it involves optical efficiency, U-value, and

Creating the Solar Collector [PDF]
, 2011 In Chapter 2 and 3, you were given the steps to build the first two (of three) models required for the Mars Base Alpha challenge. In this chapter, you will learn about the final model, the solar collector (SC) built using pieces from the LEGO Education Resource Set.

Concrete solar collector is an attempt to create an effective alternative for conventional solar collectors. Concrete has high heat storage capacity. Also, the problem of corrosion automatically gets eliminated due to the alkaline characteristic of cement. Cement concrete plays the role of heat absorber while the flow tubes are made up of copper.

Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2009
This is a guide for solar collector use. Section II shows the effective number of sunlit hours per day at the solstices and equinox captured by several solar collector types: stationary flat, sun tracking flat, east-west parabolic and two-trough concentrators and a north-south, sun tracking, two-trough concentrator.

Chapter 3 gives a review of solar collectors which are the main components of any solar system. The review includes various types of stationary and sun-tracking collectors. The stationary collectors include flat-plate collectors (FPCs), under which glazing materials, collector absorbing plates, and collector construction are presented; compound ...

Solar thermal power plants are a key technology for electricity generation from renewable energy resources. Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems collect and concentrate sunlight (solar radiation) to produce thermal energy which can be stored and used to produce electricity in a thermodynamic cycle (Rankine cycle or Brayton cycle).
