Fig. 3 Francia’s linear Fresnel setup [22]
A layout of the LFC-based solar system had been envisaged the “Solar City
Project—Hypothesis for an urban structure” by Francia in 1965. This system is
anticipated to meet the basic energy demands of the urban area.
LFC setup in Engineering School of Seville, Spain: A large experimental setup of
LFC is constructed on the rooftop of the Engineering School of Seville, Spain. This
setup is fabricated to serve a double effect lithium bromide water absorption chiller
by the steam of thermal energy 174 kW [23]. Additionally, an auxiliary gas boiler
is also deployed in the solar steam system. The aim of this work was to analyze the
performance of the LFC system for an application. The results of the experiments
have been used for possible improvements in future projects. The setup is illustrated
in Fig. 4.
