An Innovative Parabolic Trough Collector Design with a Twin-Cavity Receiver

Abstract: An innovative parabolic trough concentrator coupled to a twin cavity receiver (PTC-TC) in evacuated tube conditions is investigated thermally and optically. The suggested design is compared with a PTC design with a flat receiver (PTC-F) in order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed configuration. In the very first stages of the study, the optical efficiency was calculated for both collectors, and the optimum design was determined in the PTC-TC case. Then a mass flow rate independency procedure was conduc… Show more
