It's a little after 6:00 PM here & the temp dropped below 120°F inside the receiver. The Sun is still bright, but at too low an angle to hit more than half the reflector at the angle I have it.(Once I have the retaining chains attached & holding the receiver this is adjustable through 90°) The ambient temperature reached 70°F & now is dropping. Last nights low reached 36°.
If this charcoalizing is to work well I think we need to have an oven sufficient to reduce 1 receiver tube charge per Sun cycle.
By the way, for you calculus whizzeesss; given the dimensions earlier, what is the surface area of the inside of my trough in square inches?
