Parabolic trough collectors and linear Fresnel reflectors are the main line-focus systems for concentrating direct solar irradiance. In a conventional design, the mirrors reflect and …
The objective of this work is the investigation of different thermal enhancements methods in the LS-2 parabolic trough collector. The use of internal longitudinal fins and of a reflector …
The air conditioning in hot and arid climates remains one of the grand challenges for food production in greenhouses. Therefore, significant efforts are given to determine the suitable …
Abstract Net Zero Energy/Emission Buildings is one of the most popular study goals to make systems that are very good for society. In parabolic through collector (PTC) devices, the …
The objective of this work is the investigation of a parabolic trough concentrator (PTC) with a linear cubical cavity receiver which operates with thermal oil as the working fluid. The solar …
Trough reflectors can produce a reflected solar flux density that is highly concentrated in specific regions of the receiver surface causing higher thermal losses as well as increasing …
In this article, we discuss design approaches to a receiver enclosed in an opaque cavity and heated by a solar parabolic trough collector. Most cavity receivers are only capable of …

The highly efficient non-concentrating solar collector is a key component for increasing solar energy penetration at the district level, thereby achieving the “carbon neutrality” goal. The …
This paper discusses an improved concept for a cavity receiver unit for Solar Parabolic Trough Collectors (PTC) with the application of hot mirror coating (HMC) on a cavity …
