Parabolic trough solar collector: A review on geometrical …

Because of its wide temperature range (up to 400 C), the parabolic trough solar collector is the most commonly used in concentrated solar power technology. A parabolic trough solar collector can be divided into two types based on its applications: low to medium temperature and medium to high temperature.

A comprehensive review of parabolic trough solar collectors …

Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC) is one of such concentrating collectors which concentrates the solar insolation on the focal axis of parabolic reflectors where receiver is located. The absorber receives the thermal energy of arriving solar irradiations and transmissions the same to the Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF).

Parabolic trough

OverviewEfficiencyDesignEnclosed troughEarly commercial adoptionCommercial plantsSee alsoBibliography

A parabolic trough collector (PTC) is a type of solar thermal collector that is straight in one dimension and curved as a parabola in the other two, lined with a polished metal mirror. The sunlight which enters the mirror parallel to its plane of symmetry is focused along the focal line, where objects are positioned that are intended to be heated. In a solar cooker, for example, food is placed at the foc…
