Design and Thermal Analysis of a Parabolic Collector

In this study, the sun follow-up systematic parabolic collector typed collector's design and experimental study were made. The system provides sun tracking in the east-west direction. Instead of a mirror, chromium-nickel metal was used to reflect the sun's rays onto the focusing tube. Sanliurfa in the conditions of the system performance to evaluate for made-in experiments theoretical values with experimental results comparison made. It was possible to obtain 380 W of thermal power from this collector, whose area is 1.2 m2. The thermal efficiency is high at 43% and low at 26%.
