The GUNT Parabolic Trough Collector is designed to demonstrate the principles of concentrating solar thermal energy. It features parabolically shaped mirrored surfaces that focus light onto an absorber tube, where a heat transfer fluid transports the absorbed energy for further use. This collector, in combination with the ET 202 trainer, allows investigation of fundamental aspects of solar energy concentration.
Product Features
- Parabolically shaped mirrored surfaces concentrate light onto the absorber tube
- Absorber tube with double-walled glass casing minimizes heat losses
- Heat transfer fluid in the absorber transports energy to the ET 202 solar circuit and storage tank
- Distance to ET 202 lighting unit and inclination angle are adjustable
- Direct comparison possible between parabolic trough collector and classic flat-plate collector
- Measured data captured, displayed, and analysed using GUNT software in ET 202
- Ideal for practical training in solar thermal energy and renewable energy studies
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of concentrating solar thermal energy principles
- Enables comparison of efficiency with flat-plate solar collectors
- Supports experiments with adjustable angles and distances for optimized learning
- Integrates with ET 202 trainer software for data capture and analysis
