A parabolic trough consists of a linear parabolic reflector that concentrates light onto a receiver positioned along the reflector's focal line. The receiver is a tube that carries a working fluid such as synthetic oil. The fluid is heated to an350 deg.C (302-662 deg.F) as it flows through the receiver and is then used as a heat source for an electric power generation system.
