Abstract
A sea-shell stationary trough solar concentrator for heat production consists of a parabolic, cylindrical trough reflector, a flat double-sided absorber, and a flat aperture. By ray tracing with the software catia, the optical efficiency (the efficiency of solar ray transfer inside the concentrator) is investigated for different solar ray altitudes at the concentrator aperture and different kinds of reflector shells. For the concentrator installed in Kragujevac, Serbia, the highest optical efficiency is obtained for the solar ray altitudes between 45° and 69.75°.
