Investigation of the behavior of a heating system coupled to parabolic trough solar collector system

The objective of this work is to study the thermal behavior a solar heating system using an active layer, integrated in wall and supplied with hot water by parabolic trough collector (PTC). prototype includes PTC surface area 1.8m 2 , tank layer wall. A complete simulation model TRNSYS 16 software has been established. Simulation tests under climatic conditions city Errachidia located southeastern Morocco show temperature variations different components installation as well useful energy gained during three coldest months (December, January February). In addition, evaluation system's performance effect values reflectivity mirror was carried out. results obtained that efficiency increased from 0.41 0.63 when 0.6 0.9 for months.
