Slide: M. Eickhoff, DLR


CSP Technologies 2 Linear Fresnel Collector

Line-focusing systemsThe receiver is fixedOnly primary mirrors are tracked A secondary mirror is mounted above the receiver tubeCompared to PTC:Lower investment costs but also lower efficiency Process parameters and plant capacity are similar to those of PTCSeveral pilot plants exist
