Abstract

In this study, linear Fresnel collector system is investigated experimentally: A solar tracking mirror mechanism to system Was added. This tracking has been designed to maximize the reception of available solar radiation. The thermal performance of Fresnel solar collector for different operating conditions was obtained. The Fresnel collector system has been designed with sufficient flexibility to consider different geometries and thermal parameters, and may be used to simulate the performance of a proposed Fresnel collector system at any location.
