... that the useful solar gain from the PTSC will increase with the increase in direct normal solar radiation, as shown in Fig. 12 . The increase in the solar radiation enhances total solar energy concentrated on the receiver tube without additional thermal loss from the receiver tube at a given operating temperature...

...Eckhard Lüpfert; Klaus-J. Riffelmann; Henry Price; Frank Burkholder; Tim Moss The heat loss of a receiver in a parabolic trough collector plays an important role in collector performance. A number of methods have been used to measure the thermal loss of a receiver tube depending on its operating...
