Flat-Plate Collectors

2016
A flat-plate collector (FPC) is a device to collect solar energy and transform it into thermal energy (low-grade energy) by using water as a working fluid. It is a heart of solar thermal devices that has many applications in a medium temperature range ≅100 °C from domestic to preheating to industrial sectors.

Performance comparison of two-pass modified reverse flat-plate collector with conventional flat-plate collectors

Energy Conversion and Management, 1983
Abstract The performance of a modified reverse flat-plate collector with air as working fluid is studied. The results are compared with the corresponding results of a reverse flat-plate collector originally proposed as well as with normal flat-plate collectors operating under single and two pass modes.

Characterization of solar flat plate collectors

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012
Abstract Characterization of solar collectors is based on experimental techniques next to validation of associated models. Both techniques may be adopted assuming different complexities. In this work, a general methodology to validate a collector model, with undetermined associated complexity, is presented.

Solar Flat-Plate Air Collectors

2016
A solar flat-plate air collector has the application of space heating and crop drying under forced mode of operation with air as a working fluid. For space heating, hot air can be stored in a rock bed for night-time application. The electrical power consumed under forced mode can be met by integrating a PV module into an air collector panel.

Flat plate collector utilizability for Guyana

Renewable Energy, 1994
Abstract The objective of this study was to analyse one year of hourly solar radiation data from Georgetown, Guyana, and derive a simplified tool in the form of a utilizability curve for designing solar thermal systems with fixed flatplate collectors.

Analysis of Flat Plate Collectors

1987
Classical analyses of both the liquid and air type flat plate collectors are discussed with special emphasis on the contributions of side and bottom losses. Electrical analogy technique is introduced as a powerful tool for the calculation of the top loss coefficients including the cases of non-glass covers. Finally, the concept of energy cost parameter
