Concurrent analytical and experimental studies were carried out on linear Fresnel lens solar collectors to determine their potential for producing superheated steam. Nine tracking Northrup collectors were connected in parallel as a single pass boiler. Flat plate collectors were used to preheat the water entering the Fresnel collectors, and superheated steam was produced for all cases. The results of the experimental study were used to verify the computer model developed to study Fresnel lens collectors. The computer model predicted the temperature profiles through the collector in all cases, including the occurrence of the critical heat flux point, and a parametric computer study was made of boiling in linear Fresnel lens collectors.
