Description

We are considering a solar trough system, with the receiver pipe enclosed in a glass cover under vacuum. We present results for absorption and loss calculations for a general case, and use these to compare two scenarios: 1) receiver pipe is coated with a selective coating, and 2) glass cover is coated with a hot mirror coating. Simulations for both scenarios are presented and compared.
