This article considers the design of a modernized heat receiver for a parabolic trough solar collector, aimed at
improving the thermal efficiency of the installation. A comparative analysis of the thermal performance and calculation of
the efficiency of the traditional and improved heat collectors is carried out. As a result of modernization it was possible
to achieve an increase in heat transfer due to optimization of the shape of the receiving tube and application of selective
coating.
