What is parabolic trough solar water heating?

Parabolic-trough solar water heating, renewable technology for reducing water-heating costs. Federal Technology Alert. Tech. Rep. No. DOE/GO-102000-0973. Washington: DOE; 2000. The potencial of solar heat in industrial processes.

What is a trough with an optimized secondary in Air (Tosca) collector?

The Trough with an Optimized SeCondary in Air (TOSCA) collector, manufactured by the Chinese company, Huiyin Group, implements a new geometric concept. It employs the non-evacuated secondary-reflector Solarmundo receiver, developed for Fresnel collectors.

Who makes parabolic troughs?

Some additional information about these collectors and their manufacturer is given below: The IST Corp., founded in the United States in 1985 and recently acquired by the Spanish company, Abengoa Solar, markets two PTCs, the Parabolic Trough model (PT1) for ground mounting and the Roof Mount Parabolic Trough model (RMT).

Can a PTC solar field supply hot water?

As PTCs can only use beam solar radiation, their installation is geographically limited, and at very high wind speeds operation must be interrupted and the collectors sent into off-focus position. There are numerous facilities in the United States where a PTC solar field is employed for supplying hot water.

Who owns Theseus solar?

Theseus is a 52-MW e CSP plant with PTC that is under development on the island of Crete (Greece). Solar Millennium owns 75% of the project and Flabeg, Fitchner and OADYK own the remaining 25%.
