Abstract
This paper simply discusses the structure and the principle of design of compound
parabolic concentrator (CPC), introduces three methods of increasing the maximum concentration
angle θ max: reflector translation, cutting fundus and reflector revolved, produces the formula of
θ max along with the change of geometry size in various methods. To actual CPC with different
concentrating ratio, the curve of the maximum concentration increment along with the change of
geometry variable in three cases, and analyzes the key factors of affecting the maximum
concentration angle of CPC.
