Theoretical study of the thermal behavior of new solar collector

Abstract

In this paper we made a numerical modeling of a new solar collector with cylindro-parabolic concentrator, the different between this collector with the other traditional collector , we introduce mirrors cylindro- parabolic at the bottom of the collector which makes it possible to concentrate the solar irradiation on the focal line that the absorber placed , the advantage is to be able to reach high temperatures on surface absorbing compared to the other system, we can integrate this new collector on the buildings for the heating of water or can used for production cold at low temperature
