DETERMINATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF SOLAR COLLECTORS APPLIED IN REGIONS WITH LOW SOLAR RADIATION
Вестник Северо-Кавказского федерального университета, 2022 The article discusses the issues of using solar collectors as an alternative source of energy for areas remote from power grids. One of the main criteria when choosing solar collectors is the choice of a working fluid for heat transfer.
