Parabolic trough collector with solar tracking

Parabolic trough collectors consist of parabolically shaped mirror surfaces in which the solar radiation is collected and concentrated in an absorber. A heat transfer fluid flows in the absorber tube and transports the heat to its destination.

• thermal solar collector with parabolic trough mirror and selectively absorbing absorber tube
• two-axis sun tracking with gear motors
• plant control with PLC, operation via touch screen
• integrated router for operation and control via an end device and for screen mirroring: mirroring of the user interface on up to 5 end devices
• integrated sun sensor (Direct Normal Irradiance)
• integrated magnetometer and accelerometer for astronomical alignment
• connection of the absorber pipe by solar circuit with pump, plate heat exchanger, expansion vessel and safety valve
• hot water circuit with buffer tank, pump and connectable air heat exchanger
• sensors for temperature, illuminance and flow
• pivoted suspension enables vertical alignment of the collector
• operation with solar radiation or with artificial light source
• data acquisition via PLC on internal memory, access to stored measured values via WLAN/LAN with integrated router/LAN connection to customer–s own network or direct LAN connection without customer network
