Abstract

Attention is devoted to the application of cylindrical-parabolic solar concentrators in the intermediate temperature range for which wide receivers are used. Suitable indices that describe the performance of the concentrator are defined and evaluated. The effect of each individual parameter on total concentrator performance is investigated. The results of the analysis are presented as a set of graphs which can be used easily when designing parabolic concentrators.
