Design of New Parabolic Trough Collectors
The design of new parabolic trough collectors:
must take into consideration the intended commercial applications
needs the experimental evaluation of prototypes
is commercially interesting nowadays
is a multidisciplinary task and previous experience is very valuable

Other recommendations for the collector design (I)
the size of the collector:• Big: for solar thermal electric plants• Medium: for industrial process heat applications• Small: for air conditioning systems or similar ones (small solar fields)
Structural design :• Maximum mechanical torsion at collector end ≤ 0,3º
Receiver tube type:• For T > 300ºC: evacuated tube with good selective coating• For T < 250ºC: non-evacuated tube, with carbon steel and black
chrome, nickel or thermal paint with high absorptivity• For 250ºC ≤ T ≤ 300º: the type of receiver tube depends on the
expected efficiency

Slide 1111 / 22“Design criteria for new parabolic trough collectors”
Accuracy of the solar tracking system: ≈0,1º
Type of solar tracking control:• Either option (open-loop or close-loop control) have good performance
Type of Drive Unit:• For small-size collectors: electric motor with reduction gear box• For big-size collectors: hydraulic units

Final Recommendation
!! Use standard commercial components whenever possible
(e.g., steel profiles, mirrors and steel tubes of standard sizes).
The manufacture cost of the collectors will be much higher
otherwise¡¡
