The collectors, are employed, when the temperature prerequisite is more than 100°C. In this work a two-dimension
compound, parabolic, concentrator solar collector constructed of mild steel sheet with serpentine copper tube fixed on a flat plate
absorber, has been designed for Iraqi climate. This compound parabolic concentrator consists of two stainless-steel parabolas.
The concentrator is closed from the top and sides with 4mm glass sheets. The two parabolas are truncated at the top to reduce
the apparatus height and the effect of shading. This two dimensional compound parabolic concentrator is designed to have a
concentration ratio of 5. The serpentine copper tube is fixed on flat mild steel absorber plate. The copper tube and flat plate are
black coated. The collector is tested in Iraqi weather during the months of August, September and October. Initial results show
that the maximum absorber temperature is recorded in August which 120 °C with a reflector temperature of 69 °C and aperture
cover glass temperature 43°C
