Abstract
This paper presents of thermal performance analysis by using mathematical models for a compound parabolic collector (CPC) system employing heat storage tank. The thermal performance including insolation energy, heat loss from collector system, useful energy, collector efficiency, and temperature of storage tank were theoretically investigated through a year using monthly-average meteorological data at Seoul. The simulated results showed that the CPC systems are suitable for the applications of higher temperature than flat plate collector (FPC) systems.
