LINE-FOCUSING CONCENTRATOR

Specialty Definition: LINE-FOCUSING CONCENTRATOR

DomainDefinition

Solar

A system that tracks the path of the sun by pivoting on one axis (typically East-West or North-South), using shiny parabolic troughs to heat the collector fluid that passes through a tube at the focus. It derives its name from the fact that solar radiation is focused on a line instead of on a point. Below is an illustration from the Solar Radiation Data Manual for Flat Plate and Concentrating Collectors . (references)
