In the recent years, compound parabolic concentrating (CPC) collector draws the attention of
researchers and industrial developers towards meeting the downstream requirement of …

Steam generation using solar energy provides the basis for many sustainable desalination,
sanitization, and process heating technologies. Recently, interest has arisen for low-cost …

The design and development of a commercial-ready medium-temperature solar thermal
collector, the external compound parabolic concentrator (XCPC), is presented in which a …

The aim of this research was to develop a model for a solar refrigeration system (SRS) that
utilizes an External Compound Parabolic Collector and a thermal energy storage system …

The simulation, prototyping and testing of novel medium-temperature solar collector is
elaborated in this paper. First, selection of higher concentration reflector (1.4×) with …

In this paper, the experimental performance of a 45 m 2 solar field of non-tracking external
compound parabolic (XCPC) collectors installed at the University of California, Merced is …

In this manuscript, the performance of a commercial thermal evaporator powered using solar
energy is described. The solar collector, known as the external compound parabolic …

Fruit and vegetable pomaces are co-products of the food processing industry; they are
underutilized in part because their high water activity (aw) renders them unstable. Drum …

We report the development of a solar thermal collector module based on our proposed
design (Ratismith et. al., 2014) of a large acceptance-angle multiple-parabolic trough which …

This paper reports on the feasibility of a non-tracking semi-circular trough (SCT) solar
thermal collector to operate a 17.6 kW single effect NH 3–H 2 O absorption chiller. The SCT …
