Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A new design method for a compound parabolic concentrator heat collector is described. The conventional design of the ideal compound parabolic concentrator collector has a touching point between a light absorber and the reflectors. This structure is not preferable from the standpoint of conductive heat leakage and thermal stress on reflector materials. On the other hand, if the absorber and the reflectors are separated from each other, the gap between them usually causes optical errors such as light transmission loss or an increase in the reflection number. We discuss the fact that ideal heat collection is possible, in spite of the gap, by introducing the idea of an effective heat concentration ratio.
