HOW HYDRONIC DESIGN AFFECTS THE PERFORMANCE OF SOLAR ENERGY COLLECTORS.

Author(s) : GILMAN S. F., NEWTON A. B., JOHNSON V. J.

Summary

IN A SURVEY OF 32 SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS IN THE USA, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT IN 29 SYSTEMS THE LIQUID FLOW RATE WAS NOT UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED IN ALL COLLECTORS. THE RESULT IS THAT THE EFFICIENCY OF COLLECTORS IS NOT AS HIGH AS EXPECTED, WHICH SHOWS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF A SATISFACTORY HYDRONIC ANALYSIS AND OF AN EFFICIENT DESIGN OF COLLECTORS. THE PAPER STUDIES THE ORIGINAL SUPPLY OF COLLECTORS, THE MAINTENANCE OF COLLECTORS AT THEIR MAXIMUM CAPACITIES, UNDER VARIOUS OPERATING CONDITIONS, AND THE LIMITS OF THE MINIMUM PRESSURE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING SATISFACTORY OPERATION.
