3. ANALYSIS OF SOLAR HOT WATER HEATER AND STEAM GENERATOR USING CYLINDRICAL CONCENTRATOR WITH ACTIVE TRACKING AND DATA UPDATE

- Steam generation with low costs and high energy efficiency is critical for reducing water pollution during an energy crisis. However, there are numerous barriers to practical energy utilisation for solar steam gen eration. Our systematic invitation provided a clearer understanding of how to improve the steam generation rate in this review. I ncludi ng improving light absorption, R educing heat loss optimizing water supply. This article aims to make a comprehensive review solar water heater and steam generator usin g cylindrical concentrator with active Device for data tracking and updating. The solar radiance can be incident directly on the cylindrical Reflector that is connected to the water reservoir by using an active tracking device. The electronic control unit will provide precise and real time readings. Furthermore, by using a data updater dev ice, previous recordings will be kept accurately. Concentrating collectors absorb solar energy and convert it into heat to generate hot water or steam at the required temperature, which can then be used for thermal applications. T he developing countries like India where solar energy is abundantly available; there is need to develop technology for harnessing solar energy for power production.
