Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, a working setup of Scheffler solar concentrator (SSC) for the steam generation application has been investigated experimentally. An experimental setup of SSC having an aperture area of 1.54 m2 and steam boiler (or receiver) area of 0.0324 m2 was set up and tested for steam generation. The steam boiler 1, 2 and 3 with different arrangements were used for steam generation. During sunshine hours, the steam boiler 1, 2 and 3 are placed at the focus of SSC at 11:00 hour up to 2.1 bar (gauge) reached. The dryness fraction of the steam boiler 1, 2 and 3 have been calculated as 43.51%, 71.61%, 96.32% and the thermal efficiency 18.40%, 14.53% and 14.09%, respectively. In all the steam boiler arrangements, it has been found that in the steam boiler 3 produced a high quality of steam.
