ABSTRACT:
Acurex Corporation, under contract to Sandia Laboratories, has developed a preliminary design of a modular solar thermal collector field system to generate saturated steam at 827 kPa (120 psia) and 172°C
(342°F). The collector field consists of 4818 m2 (51840 ft2) of parabolic trough

line focusing modules with FEK reflective surfaces. Modular features have been introduced throughout the system in the form of standardized components, skid-mounted assemblies, prefabricated and preassembled items, and a simple field layout. These features will reduce system costs by reducing engineering, hardware, and construction costs and also improve reliability. System performance has been determined for three site locations for both north-south and east-west collector field orientations. In addition, costs were estimated for various numbers of systems .
