A comprehensive review of parabolic trough solar collectors …

Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC) is one of such concentrating collectors which concentrates the solar insolation on the focal axis of parabolic reflectors where receiver is located. The absorber receives the thermal energy of arriving solar irradiations and transmissions the same to the Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF).
