Three methods of designing developable surfaces are presented. They are designing a developable surface based on one curve on it and its normal line, designing a developable surface based on two curves on it and designing a developable surface based on one curve and one surface. They meet the requirements of engineering fields.展开更多

Its working principle and design parameters have been introduced. The experimental curve of temperature rising of the system with time under the real weather has been given. The system efficiency and the relation between efficiency and temperature have been calculated. The test result shows that the system has the advantages of high collecting temperature and not obvious variety of the collecting efficiency with the operating temperature. Therefore, this collector is a quite ideal medium temperature solar collector.展开更多
