Abstract

A solar powered air heating system using parabolic trough collector was experimentally investigated. This paper describes construction and testing of a parabolic dish solar steam generator. By using sun heat with the help of parabolic collector concentrated on black absorber which is located at focus point of reflector; which heated water at high temperature considering different specifications and find out variation of temperature with different time, maximum temperature and temperature for different types of reflectors used.

Keywords: Parabolic trough collector, reflectors, solar energy, temperature
