ANALYSIS OF SCHEFFLER CONCENTRATOR

A scheffler type solar concentrator focuses the solar images at the focus point of the parabola where receiver is installed. The receiver takes the energy from the reflector and after being affected by heat loss the fluid is transferred to a Stirling engine that works through a cylindrical absorber plan. The numerical results past research allows for the design of STCS and a comparison with parabolic dish that provides the same thermal demand. Our finding shows that the minimum power is required at centre of gravity to rotate the scheffler concentrator, which was observed in the parabolic dish, but as well the STCS receiver shows a 7% increase in the thermal efficiency compared with the efficiency of the parabolic dish receiver.
