Resumen

In the solar energy area, the technological progress that has brought the development of compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) and their diversification in their applications are well known and has been widely extended nowadays. Regardless of this diversification, the methods used for their manufacture evaluation have not had relevant modifications in recent years. In manufacturing methods, some processes such as the rolling of the reflective sheet or the way of assembling it on its structure, are typically by hand accompanied with errors, so they degrade the efficiency of the concentrator; in consequence, the full potential to concentrate solar power is uncertain. In this study a proposal for the evaluation of the CPC collector is presented, in which a 3D-Molded collector of a 1-sun concentration was assessed, such collector is widely used in photocatalytic processes. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fabrication assessment, a Monte Carlo ray tracing evaluation was carried out to the compare collectors, obtaining a relative effectiveness of 95% on the 3D-molded CPC against an 82% of a handcrafted CPC, both compared to the ideal 1-sun collector (100% efficiency factor).
