Design of Concentrating Parabolic Reflector System to Generate Energy

ABSTRACT

The paper contains the design, construction and testing of a parabolic reflector system. Using concentrating collector, the rays from sun is concentrated at the focus point of the reflector in which different experiments are carried out to estimate the temperatures at the focal point. It also describes the sun tracking system unit by keeping the whole arrangement mounted on a hinged frame supported with a slotted lever for tilting the parabolic dish reflector to different angles so that the sun is always directed to the collector at different period of the day.
