Advanced Dual-Axis Sun TrackingThe LDR-based tracking system allows the concentrator to follow the suns azimuth and altitude, ensuring continuous optimal alignment throughout the day. This real-time adjustment maximizes energy absorption, resulting in more consistent hot water or steam production, even on days with variable sunlight.
High-Performance Reflective MaterialsUtilizing borosilicate glass mirrors with reflectivity 93%, the system captures and concentrates solar energy efficiently. The receiver tube, constructed from borosilicate or durable SS316, ensures effective transfer of solar heat, supporting a wide range of thermal applications at temperatures up to 350C.
Versatile and Safe Installation OptionsWith both ground and rooftop mounting options available, the system adapts to a variety of site requirements. Its sturdy construction from mild steel or aluminum ensures longevity, while integrated safety features such as over-temperature protection and emergency stop switch provide reliable and secure operation.
FAQs of Parabolic Trough Concentrator With Ldr Tracking System:
Q: How does the LDR-based tracking system optimize the performance of the concentrator?
A: The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) tracking system measures real-time sunlight intensity, automatically adjusting the concentrators dual-axis positioning for optimal alignment with the sun. This automatic adjustment allows for efficient energy concentration throughout the day, enhancing hot water or steam output.
Q: What types of applications can this parabolic trough concentrator be used for?
A: The system is suitable for solar thermal applications, including water heating and steam generation. It can be customized for capacities from 2kW to 5kW, making it versatile for residential, commercial, or small industrial uses.
Q: When should periodic maintenance be performed and what does it involve?
A: Maintenance is minimal but should be conducted periodically, typically involving cleaning the borosilicate mirrors and receiver tube to ensure maximum reflectivity and heat absorption. Inspecting safety features and checking mechanical and tracking components is also recommended.
Q: Where can this system be installed?
A: The Parabolic Trough Concentrator can be installed on both ground and rooftop surfaces, thanks to its adaptable mounting options. Custom dimensioning allows it to fit various site layouts as needed by the user.
Q: What safety features are incorporated in the system?
A: To ensure safe operation, the system includes over-temperature protection to prevent overheating and an emergency stop switch for immediate shutdown if required. These safety mechanisms help protect both the equipment and users.
Q: How does the automatic dual-axis tracking benefit solar energy capture?
A: Automatic dual-axis tracking closely follows the suns position with a tracking accuracy of 2, significantly increasing solar energy collection compared to stationary systems. This enhancement leads to more efficient and consistent thermal output across the day.
Q: What is included in the core components of the system?
A: The main components include a parabolic reflector with borosilicate glass mirrors, a receiver tube made of borosilicate or SS316, a dual-axis LDR tracking sensor, a hydraulic stand, and a digital display interface. These elements collectively enable high efficiency and user-friendly operation.
