Abstract
Parabolic trough, Fresnel, heliostat mirror, or dish-type collectors are used to obtain high temperature in solar thermal applications. The operation of this system is similar to that of a Fresnel collector, except for its reflective mirror, which is cylindrical and not flat. The experiments were carried out in the solar energy system manufactured for producing hot water, superheated water, and steam in the cylindrical trough solar concentrator. According to the test results, the thermal power of the system and the average thermal efficiency of the collector were a maximum of 15 kW and approximately 35 %, respectively.
