Resumen:

In this work the thermal experimentation carried out in a conical receiver of a solar paraboidal concentrator is described. The aluminum solar parabolic concentrator comes from a parabolic antenna which originally was used for telecommunication purposes and it has an aperture angle of 90°. In this new experimentation the direction of the flow that crosses the receiver has been inversed (fig, 1) and the volumetric flow that crosses the receiver (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 [l/min]) is varied. The experimental data of the temperatures of the surface of the receiver are shown in this work, also the temperatures in the entrance and in the exit of the flow. The experimental data is used to calculate the heat absorbed by the receiver, the useful heat, the heat losses and the thermal efficiency in the receiver and in the concentrator-receiver system, thus comparing the results with those obtained in previous experimentations where the direction of the flow was not inversed. The thermal efficiency of the concentrator-receiver system for the volumetric flows mentioned before, for normal flow are from 85.71% (7 l/min) to 50.55% (1 l/min) and for the inverse flow, from 80.83% (7 l/min) to 42.58% (1 l/min). Therefore it is better to work with normal flow for diverse applications, for example for heating fluids for industrial processes.
