type of which is selected according to minimum ambient air temperatures
in different seasons: Dowtherm A by Dow Chemical is used, the main
ingredients of which are diphenyl and diphenyl ether.
1.2.2.3 Dish-Stirling Solar Power Generation
Dish-Stirling solar power generation (Fig. 1.14) is a system that con-
centrates solar beam radiation on the generator mounted at the focal point
by utilizing a parabolic dish concentrator to generate power through the
Stirling cycle. Key components of the dish-Stirling solar power generation
system include the parabolic dish concentrator, Stirling generator, and
transmission system. Both dish-Stirling power generation and solar tower
power use technology that incorporates point focusing concentration and
