Summary

The dynamic model presented in the study describes the fluid, plate and cover temperatures of the collector by three different differential equations. The accuracy of the dynamic model was tested by comparing the results predicted by the model with experimental performance data obtained for a liquid-cooled flat-plate solar collector with a corrugated transparent fiberglass cover. The model was further used to design a flat-plate collector for a 1 kilowatt ammonia-water absorption refrigeration system.
