Conception, Realization and Testing of a Novel Solar Collector.
Kanré Bamogo, Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice Ky, Lareba Adélaïde Ouédraogo, Salifou Ouédraogo, Sié Kam and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiébo
The system proposed in this article is a collector made up of hemispherical concentrators. The prototype consists of four reflecting bowls covered with 8 mm glass in which 42 liters of sunflower oil circulates. The oil being the absorber itself is heated by the hot spots resulting from the concentration of the spherical reflectors. So the prop(...)
