Abstract
⸠Concentrated heat pipe showed an improvement of 30% in overall average outlet and inlet fluid temperature differential. ⸠An improvement of 25.42% in total daily energy collection was recorded by the concentrated heat pipe system. ⸠Lack of concentration resulted to 46.22% higher heat losses from the non-concentrated heat pipe. ⸠Better temperature response with higher average efficiency and energy collection made the concentrated heat pipe preferable.
