Concentrating Collectors

Concentrator-The optical subsystem which directs the solar radiation on

to the absorber

Receiver-The subsystem consisting the absorber, its cover and other

accessories
Terminologies
• Aperture (W)- It is the plane opening of the concentrator through
which the solar radiation passes

• Area concentration ratio (C)-It is the ratio of the effective area of the
aperture to the surface area of the absorber

• Intercept factor-It is the fraction of the radiation which is reflected or


refracted from the concentrator and is incident on the absorber
Types of concentrating collector

• Flat plate collector with plane reflectors

• Cylindrical parabolic collector

• Compound parabolic collector

• Fresnel lens concentrating collector

• Parabolic dish collector
