Solar thermal collectors and applications

Stationary collectors

Solar energy collectors are basically distinguished by their motion, i. e. stationary, single axis tracking and two - axes tracking, and the operating temperature. Initially,

the stationary solar collectors are examined. These collec­tors are permanently fixed in position and do not track the sun. Three types of collectors fall in this category:

1. Flat plate collectors (FPC);

2. Stationary compound parabolic collectors (CPC);

3. Evacuated tube collectors (ETC).

Solar thermal collectors and applications

Collector thermal efficiency

In reality the heat loss coefficient UL in Eqs (2) and (42) is not constant but is a function of collector inlet and ambient temperatures. Therefore: TOC o "1-5" h …

Global climate change

The term greenhouse effect has generally been used for the role of the whole atmosphere (mainly water vapour and clouds) in keeping the surface of the earth warm. Recently however, …

Limitations of simulations

Simulations are powerful tools for process design offering a number of advantages as outlined in the previous sections. However, there are limits to their use. For example, it is easy …
