Abstract
A Scheffler type parabolic dish solar concentrator (PDSC) of 16 m2 aperture area was used to concentrate the incident beam radiation onto a solar thin receiver. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (Mgcl2.6H2O) phase change material (PCM) was incorporated into the thin receiver based on the availability, thermophysical properties and cost. The average energy efficiency of the thin receiver was 26.37%, 39.56% and 54.20% without PCM and 29.47% and 44.20% and 59.10% with the PCM for flow rates of water of 0.01 kg/s, 0.02 kg/s and 0.03 kg/s respectively.
