Midtemperature solar thermal systems design handbook: parabolic troughs

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6149898
Ongoing efforts at Sandia Laboratories (SLA) to develop a Solar Thermal System's Design Handbook are outlined. The handbook deals, at this time, only with parabolic trough collector systems operating up to 315/sup 0/C (600/sup 0/F). While useful to anyone doing solar thermal design involving parabolic troughs, the handbook application is primarily aimed at commercial Architectural and Engineering firms. Publication of the handbook is anticipated for the Fall 1979. Updating of the handbook is expected to occur continuously as the rapidly developing solar technology matures.
