In this paper the use of Syltherm-800 and Therminol-55 thermal oils in parabolic trough collector (PTC) is investigated with inlet temperatures of 375.35 K, 424.15 K, 470.65 K and 523.85 K and for mass flow rates of 4, 4.5 and 5 kg/sec. Analysis has been carried out using a thermal model and validated using the simulation results. Therminol-55 gives better heat transfer coefficient compared to Syltherm-800. Since Therminol-55 has higher specific heat and viscosity when compared to Syltherm-800, the use of Syltherm-800 as a heat transfer fluid in PTC is preferred. Better results are observed for temperature of 375.35 K and mass flow rate of 4 kg/sec.
