Analysis of Boiling Flat-Plate Collectors
Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 1986A detailed model for use with TRNSYS, capable of modelling a wide range of boiling collector types, was used to analyze boiling flat-plate collector systems. This model can account for a subcooled liquid entering the collector, heat losses in the vapor and the liquid return line, pressure drops due to friction in the collector and piping, and pressure ...

Double exposure flat-plate collector
Solar Energy, 1965Abstract A flat-plate collector has been designed to absorb heat from the back, as well as the front, the usual insulation being omitted from the back. The peak energy collection has been increased by 48 percent, as compared with a conventional flat-plate collector.

Solar energy collectors are devices employed to gain useful heat energy from the incident solar radiation. They can be of the concentrating or the flat-plate type. A simple flat-plate solar energy collector consists basically of an absorbing surface which absorbs the insolation and transmits it (in the form of heat) to a working fluid (commonly air or ...

Advanced Flat Plate Collectors
1987The main drawback of the conventional flat plate collector is its inability to operate with reasonable collection efficiencies at temperature around 80 °C, thus limiting their applications largely for providing hot water and space heating. Therefore, the major concern of solar collector designers is the reduction of heat losses from the solar energy ...

The flat-plate solar collector is essentially a heat exchanger in which the radiant energy of the Sun is converted to low-grade thermal energy. The concept is not new as some of the earliest recorded examples of the use of flat-plate collectors occurred around a hundred years ago [4.1, 4.2].

Solar motors with flat-plate collectors
Solar Energy, 1966Abstract Research at the Laboratory of Meteorological Physics of the University of Dakar has been devoted for several years to the study of solarenergy utilization. An experimental solar motor has been operating since August 1962. This motor drives a pump lifting 8 to 10 liters water per minute from a depth of 13 meters.

The Performance of Flat-Plate Solar Heat Collectors
Journal of Fluids Engineering, 1942Abstract The great magnitude of solar-energy flux on the earth has stimulated a number of attempts at its more effective utilization during the last 60 years. Mouchot (1, 2) and Pifre (3, 2) in France, Shuman (4) in Egypt, Ericsson (5), Willsie (6), Shuman (7), and more recently Abbot (8) in America are but a few of the names associated ...

Long-term performance of flat-plate solar collectors
Applied Energy, 1980Abstract A simple model is used to calculate the angular and time dependence of solar radiation. The resulting computer program is particularly suited to the evaluation of the performance of a solar system as a function of the collector area; it is used as a subroutine in a program determining the optimal dimensions of a solar system according to the

Exergetic optimization of flat plate solar collectors
Renewable Energy, 2009In this paper, an exergetic optimization of flat plate solar collectors is developed to determine the optimal performance and design parameters of these solar to thermal energy conversion systems. A detailed energy and exergy analysis is carried out for evaluating the thermal and optical performance, exergy flows and losses as well as exergetic ...
