An Innovative Parabolic Trough Collector Design with a Twin-Cavity Receiver

An innovative parabolic trough concentrator coupled to a twin cavity receiver (PTC-TC) in evacuated tube conditions is investigated thermally and optically. The suggested design is compared with a PTC design with a flat receiver (PTC-F) in order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed configurati...
