Process industry consumed 15 % to 30 % of the global energy, and 40 % of it is thermal energy demand in the range of 80 °C-250 °C. To produce mid-temperature heat, a new solar collector was designed with heat pipe evacuated tube, including several parallel micro-parabolic troughs, heat pipes, double-layer vacuum tubes contained in a compact frame and an external mechanical solar tracker. In addition, the selective absorbing coating (SAC) was applied on the inner surface of the vacuum tube, and the gap between the heat pipe and the vacuum tube was filled with heat transfer oil. Since the height of the designed collector was only 124.5 mm, it can be easily integrated with buildings. Genetic algorithm (GA) was used to optimize the structural parameters based on maximum obtained solar energy of the collector, and theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are carried out for optical and thermal performance of the collector. The analytical and numerical results showed that the annual average optical efficiency is 57.6 % and the thermal efficiency is 30.6 % at 250 °C when the normalized temperature difference is 0.23. By exergy analysis, the collector has a maximum exergy efficiency of 15.5 % with operating temperature of 204.4 °C, which is the station of the best thermal performance of the collector. Furthermore, theoretical model was verified to be valid by a prototype. Overall, the proposed collector is suitable for mid temperature industrial applications and integrated with rooftop.
