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.

Performance of a flat-plate solar collector

Solar Energy, 1967
Abstract 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 motors with flat-plate collectors

Solar Energy, 1966
Abstract 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.

Two-Dimensional Analysis of a Flat-Plate Solar Collector

Journal of Energy, 1976
The main objective of this study was to develop a two-dimensional theoretical model of a flat-plate solar collector which later could be used for optimizing the configuration parameters based on least cost per unit of energy absorbed. A rational and systematic two-dimensional analysis of a flat-plate solar collector is presented. By means of this model,

Long-term performance of flat-plate solar collectors

Applied Energy, 1980
Abstract 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

Mathematical Modeling of Flat Plate Solar Collector

2020 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES), 2020
The solar energy collector is the heart of a flat-plate solar collector (FPSC) system. This is designed and developed for operation in the low-temperature range (ambient to 60°C) or in the medium temperature ranges (ambient to 100°C). FPSC is designed and developed to absorb incident solar energy, convert it into heat and transfer the heat energy to a ...

The ‘Albedo’ Flat-Plate Solar Collector

1984
In the ‘albedo’ flat-plate collector, the rear solid insulation is replaced by an air-gap and window. With the collector mounted some distance above a white roof or ground, the absorber is irradiated also on its rear face, by sun and sky radiation reflected from the roof, thereby increasing the income of radiation in the order of 20–60%.

Identification of a Flat-Plate Solar Collector

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1979
Abstract A flat-plate solar collector, an essential component of most thermal solar energy systems, is inherently exposed to variable weather conditions. Hence its dynamics may be important. to the design and control. A distributed dynamic model of the collector has been verified experimentally using orthogonal binary multifrequency test signals and

Thermodynamic optimization of solar flat-plate collector

Renewable Energy, 2001
Second-law modeling of flat-plate collectors is performed with the objective of describing collector performance when entropy generation is minimum. Effects of irreversibility are demonstrated. Factors mostly effecting the generation of entropy are discussed.
