Preface
This book is a short but concise summary of prototypes of parabolic trough solar collectors (PTCs) presented in the technical literature and used for low-enthalpy (low-temperature) demands. The idea of writing this book started from a paper that two of the Authors wrote last year, which dealt with the design and manufacture of a low-temperature and low-cost PTC prototype developed in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences of Marche Polytechnic University (UNIVPM). Since that work brought us to deepen the field of PTCs adopted for thermal industrial processes, in particular low-temperature prototypes usually developed in the academic world, we taught that it could be useful and interesting to provide a book concerning these fascinating solar collectors. We believe that this work is particularly addres
