The working gas of a parabolic trough solar collector is the fluid that flows through the collector and absorbs the heat from the sun. The working gas in the tube is heated by the sun and flows to a heat exchanger, where it transfers its heat to water, which is then used to generate power.
The Parabolic-Dish Collector (PDC) [154,155] usually consists of a parabolic dish reflector, a receiver and solar tracing devices as shown in Fig. 53.The receiver is installed at the focus of parabolic dish reflector. During normal operation, firstly, the sunlight is reflected ...
Therefore, the ratio of energy gained by the working fluid in the absorber tube to the energy hitting the solar collector describes the collector''s efficiency. The typical efficiencies of flat plate solar collectors range between 40% and 80%, depending on the design, materials, operating conditions and geographic location.

The solar concentrator, or dish, gathers the solar energy coming directly from the sun. The resulting beam of concentrated sunlight is reflected onto a thermal receiver that collects the solar heat. The dish is mounted on a structure that tracks the sun continuously throughout the day to reflect the highest percentage of sunlight possible onto the thermal receiver.
