Analysis of Flat Plate Collectors
1987Classical 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

Solar Flat-Plate Air Collectors
2016A 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.

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.

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.

Calculation of flat-plate collector utilizability
Solar Energy, 1978Abstract The “utilizability” or φ-curve method developed by Whillier [1] and later generalized by Liu and Jordan[2, 3], can be a very useful design tool for some types of solar energy systems which utilize conventional flat-plate solar collectors. The generalized φ-curve method in its original form, however, has several drawbacks.

Performance of a flat-plate solar collector
Solar Energy, 1967Abstract The design of a simple solar collector made from corrugated, galvanized-iron sheet is given. Its performance during summer at Allahabad, India, at various flows is presented. To obtain hot water at temperatures higher than 170 deg F, temperature being averaged over an eight-hour period, a flow of only about 1 lb/hr-ft 2 should be allowed ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
