| English Abstract |
A parabolic trough collector with tracking system for cogeneration of Electricity and heat was developed.The trough has aperture area 1.6 m2, concentration ratio of 20 and efficiency of 60 %. Two receivers was tested one from copper, the other from aluminum. A transparent Acrylic double jacket has significantly improved the collector efficiency. |
| Arabic Abstract |
تم تطوير مجمع حوض مكافئ مع نظام تعقب الشمس لتوليد الحرارة و الكهرباء. مساحة الفجوة 1.6 م2 ونسبة التركيز 20 % و يعمل بكفاءة 60% . تم اختبار اثنان من انابيب الامتصاص واحد من النحاس و الثاني من الألمنيوم. و تم استخدام سترة مزدوجة من الأكريليك الشفاف لانابيب الامتصاص و قد حسنت الكفاءة إلى حد كبير. |
