ABSTRACT:

Solar energy can be used as substitution of the depleting fossil fuels in thermal
application and electricity generation through Thermal route . For medium and
high temperatures applications . A system for collecting solar energy at high
temperatures Was developed and built in this research work. The system built at
the cent of the development of renewable energy of the Algiers, consists of
spherical reflector with cylindrical receiver filled with water, Tracking reflector
which moves into the focus following the sun’s movement. This system is capable
of heating water Or other fluid to temperature above 350°c, thus making it possible
to obtain process heat for domestic use and to store solar energy in a compact and
economical way
 An analysis of the system optical characteristics was
performed To aid in the design of the Spherical reflector with cylindrical receiver.
The performance of the spherical reflector was tested by temperatures of the water,
total efficiency 60%-70% were obtained for a fine range of temperature upto 350°c
the results of the present study shows that it is possible to use the spherical
reflector for system requiring process heat and make possible sustancial utilization
of solar energy and considerable saving related to fossil fuels energy in the sunny
countries of the world.
