Solar-driven photoactivated processes have proven to be effective technologies for removing pathogens and chemical contaminants from water. Reflector systems are commonly used to concentrate the sunlight and improve their efficiency. Among them, compound parabolic collectors (CPC) are the most widely used, being the concentration factor (CF), their main design parameter, calculated directly from the geometry. This work presents the development of a novel parameter, called dynamic concentration factor (DCF), to assess the efficiency of a CPC as a function of the solar vector (the beam angle depends on location, season of the year and time of the day) and the reflective properties of the material. The DCF is defined as the ratio between the i...
