A Review of Solar Collectors in Solar Thermal Applications
International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Science, 2 (10):
23-27 (October 2017)Abstract
Thermal applications are drawing increasing attention in the solar energy research field, due to their high performance in energy storage density and energy conversion efficiency. This paper focuses to provide a detailed review on solar collectors and its different types. Various types of solar collectors are reviewed and discussed, including both non-concentrating collectors (low temperature applications) and concentrating collectors (high temperature applications) as well as system configuration is also reviewed.
