Thermal Analysis Of Compact Solar Water Heater Under Local Climatic Conditions

Integrated collector storage solar water heaters icsswh converts the solar radiation directly into heat at an appreciable conversion rate and in many cases using concentrating means.

Thermal analysis of compact solar water heater under local climatic conditions. Through this study the factors that affect the performance of solar water heating system and thermal insulation capacity are analysed and the best design of the modified roof system is identified. The modified roof system produces 25 l of hot water per day with a temperature raise of 60 c in the winter season. Perature for the given local climatic conditions and collector charac teristics. The authors developed a transient model to analyse the thermal performance of the integrated solar water heater with a corrugated absorber surface.

Al hinti thermal analysis of compact solar water heater under local climatic conditions international communications in heat and mass transfer. Theoretical model the compact solar water heater consists of a galvanized steel tank. The input climatic variables are hourly values of solar radiation and ambient temperature for a typical day of toronto.

The thermal performance of the systemwill be optimized for singleanddoubleglazingwithstoragetankdepthsof5 10 and15 cm. On the basis of the experimental observations optimized collector configuration can be determined and recommended. Extensive experimental studies on a compact solar water heater were carried out in order to evaluate the performance of the heater and determine the. The direct conversion of solar to thermal energy is highly efficient more environmental friendly and economically viable.
