What is Tubular Receiver for P2CC Solar Collector

Chapter 31
Handbook of Research on Novel Soft Computing Intelligent Algorithms: Theory and Practical Applications
The tubular receiver is a concentric tube consisting of a metal tube (absorber) inside a glass tube. The cylindrical copper absorber is surrounded by a glass layer for lowering convective loss from the collector pipe. The area between the pipe absorber and the glass surrounding layer is evacuated. Conversion of solar energy into heat is conducted on the pipe collector. The pipe absorber is colored with a selective color of high absorbing properties and low emissivity ( e r ).

Abstract
In this chapter, description and working principles of the parabolic trough power plants, solar tower power plants, parabolic dish power plants, and power plants with Fresnel reflectors in the world and their potential use in Serbia are given. In addition, the examples and technical characteristics of some concetrating solar power plants in the world are given. The cases in which solar cells are used to generate electrical energy are very rare. Solar systems referred as mid temperature (100–400 oC) are considered suitable for integration with industrial processes, cooling, and polygeneration systems through use of concentrating solar collectors. The results of this research may be applied in the construction of small solar systems, but also in the design and construction of large polygeneration systems. Physical and mathematical model is presented, as well as numerical procedure for predicting thermal performances of the P2CC (Parabolic-and-Circular Collector) solar concentrator.
