Parabolic Trough Solar Collector Water Heater

The design and fabrication of parabolic trough solar water heater for water heating was executed.

Parabolic trough solar collector water heater. The key component of a typical diy and many commercial concentrated solar water heater is a parabolic trough which focusses all of the sunlight hitting it onto a pipe through which oil is being pumped to be heated up. In this video new physicist shows you how to build a high efficient solar water heater using zinc sh. This is primarily due to the nine plants operating in california s mojave desert since the mid 1980s. In these plants large fields of parabolic trough collectors supply the thermal energy used to produce steam supplied to a rankine steam turbine generator cycle to produce electricity.

A wide variety of parabolic solar water heater options are available to you such as direct plug. The equipment which is made up of the reflector surface curved mirror reflector support absorber pipe and a stand. Making the parabolic solar collector. The procedure employed includes the design construction and testing stages.
