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, 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.

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.

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 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

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.

1992
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 ...
