Parabolic Trough Reflector

Parabolic Trough Reflector
Parabolic Trough Reflector

The reflector is also a key part of the parabolic trough collector, Vicot makes it with quality glass at high shape precision with silver coating for excellent reflectivity, and 6 different layers in total, as shown in next diagram, insures high reflectivity, durable life time and strength.

Features
  • Made of high quality glasses with silver coating
  • Durable, with the life expectancy available in over 20 years.
  • Free from hailstone damage.
  • Mirror reflectivity ≥ 93.8%.
  • Strength test: 1cm-diameter steel ball falling from high up.
