Title: Concentric solar collector

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6589663

A concentric solar collector comprises a round disk, an insulating substrate moulded with plurality of concentric parabolic troughs, a reflective plate formed as plurality of concentric parabolic troughs, a coiled absorber pipe, plurality of vertical heat-transfer plates each connecting the coiled absorber pipe and the parabolic trough positioned thereunder and a transparent top envelope. Such a collector can be used to efficiently absorb the solar heat either from direct straight sunlight or inclined sunlight.
