Flat plate collector utilizability for Guyana
Renewable Energy, 1994Abstract 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 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 ...

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.

“Convective” flat plate collectors and their applications
Solar Energy, 1995Abstract The “convective” flat plate collector is a particular two-way collector system with air in gravity flow as primary working fluid. Its thermal characteristics are described. Results of outdoor tests and thermal simulations are shown. Different applications of the system are presented: water heating, steam generation for medical sterilization,

Characterization of solar flat plate collectors
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012Abstract 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.
