Parabolic solar concentrator employing flat plate collector
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6722312
A combined solar energy collector includes a trough having a generally parabolic cross section, the trough having a reflective inner surface adapted to receive and reflect direct and indirect solar radiation. A flat plate solar collector extends along the apex line of the parabolic cross section, the flat plate collector having means therein defining a circuitous path for a fluid passing therethrough. Means, such as a glass enclousre surrounding the flat plate collector, admits shortwave solar radiation into the flat plate collector and reduces long-wave heat reradiation therefrom.
