An axial temperature differential analysis was used to size the collector field required to power a 40-kW (electrical) load. The number of north-south-oriented collectors required to furnish the desired energy and temperature rise in the collector fluid was determined by the requirements of several typical organic working fluid Rankine-cycle energy conversion systems. Calculations based on heliostatically mounted collector systems and fixed-tilt east-west tracking collector systems are presented. The collector matrix sizes obtained by these calculations are somewhat optimistic because the effects of wind losses and shadowing by adjacent collectors are not considered. No losses are considered for connections between collectors. Losses in the Rankine-cycle power conversion loop are considered. This analysis is thus valid for a lossless, 'infinitely' spaced collector field.
