Experimental Analysis of a Novel Parabolic Trough Receiver for Direct Steam Generation
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, experimental study of a parabolic trough collector and novel receiver with concentric tubes (C-PTR) for direct steam generation is presented. The performance of the C-PTR system is extensively studied by varying the parameters such as the direct normal irradiance, the mass flow rate, the type of circulation and the amount of phase change material (PCM). The maximum thermal efficiency achieved using C-PTR is averaged about 58% …

THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF ADVANCED PARABOLIC RECEIVER FOR DIRECT STEAM GENERATION
Abstract: Solar thermal power generation using water as a Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) has gained interest recently, due to its ability to generate steam directly from the receiver tube. In this paper, a new theoretical model of receiver called Concentric Parabolic Trough Receiver (C-PTR) for direct steam generation is presented. The proposed model consists of Phase change material (PCM) sandwiched between two concentric cylindrical tubes. Binary Solar Salt commercially known as …
