In the present work two parabolic trough concentrator system of different rim angle and
different reflector aperture area is designed, fabricated, and evaluated, and operated for generate hot
water .There one system is 45° rim angle and next is of 90° rim angles, here reflector aperture area of
45° rim angle has operatically 20% more than 90° rim angle system, but remaining all other features
are same for both the 90° and 45° system. On operation of the system we gets nearly same efficiency
for both the system thus we observe that for all same equal features except of reflector aperture area,
the efficiency got 20+% more for 90° rim angle compare to 45° rim angle.
