“…Experimental tests were accomplished by the authors in order to study the thermal efficiencies and the thermal heat loss coefficients of the new collector. A new conception of ICS solar collector combined with (CPC) was investigated by Hadjiat et al 19 This new configuration consisted of a cylindrical tank suitably mounted in a fixed symmetrical CPC reflector. Authors studied the optical efficiency of the ICS solar water heater by exploiting a highly developed ray tracing technique.…”

In this paper, we studied in particular solar energy that recovers heat from solar radiation in a fluid, by converting the solar energy into thermal energy by the implementation of thermal solar collectors. This study is the modeling of heat transfer of the parabolic solar collector trough. The objective of this recent simulation is to determine the variation of the outlet temperature, the useful energy and the thermal efficiency of two different receivers. The fluid is water liquid. In order to determine these parameters, we simulate the different types of receivers by the MATLAB/Simulink. According to the simulation findings, using the second receiver leads to an increase of the fluid temperature at the output and the overall solar collector thermal efficiency.

“…Considering the illuminated surface area of the absorber NCDP ′ EP of A abs = 0.46 m 2 , the reflector profile has a design geometric = A ap A abs ⁄ = 0.98 ≈ 1 . This is not considered as concentration (Hadjiat et al, 2018), but it achieves illumination of the targeted zone CDE on the absorber surface without the need for sun tracking.…”

This paper reports the development and application of a new practical photovoltaic (PV) cells based device to measure the solar radiation flux produced by non-imaging Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPCs) on cylindrical absorbers. The flexible experimental device comprises 12 discrete miniature PV panels that measure solar radiation on the surface of a cylindrical absorber. The device has been used to evaluate the performance of an asymmetric CPC system and results validated with a computer-based Ray Tracing Model. The study attained significant agreement between outdoor results of the experimental device and results of the ray tracing simulation with a difference of <9 % in optical efficiencies. The non-imaging reflector illuminates a targeted section of the absorber of a horizontal east-west thermal diode Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater. During outdoor testing, the experiments indicated a local concentration ratio reaching 1.4 suns on the targeted section of the absorber vessel surface for incidence angles −30°≤ ≤ 30°, confirming technical suitability of the asymmetric CPC for deployment in locations at equatorial latitudes.
