Get PriceExample 7.1. A very long solar collector plate is to collect energy at a temperature of T1 = 350 K. To improve its performance for off-normal solar incidence, a surface, which is highly reflective at short wavelengths, is placed next to the collector as shown in Fig. 7-1.
The warmed fluid carries the heat either directly to the hot water or space conditioning equipment or to a storage subsystem from which can be drawn for use at night and on cloudy days. A precise and detailed analysis of a solar flat plate collector is quite complicated because of the many factors involved.
In its simplest form the collector may be an ordinary central heating radiator panel. The materials most frequently used for collector plates, in decreasing order of cost and thermal conductivity, are copper, aluminium and steel. If the entire collector is swept by the heat transfer fluid, the conductivity of the material becomes unimportant.
The collector or absorber plate is usually the most complex and expensive component of the collector, the remaining parts being freely available in the trade and in mass production for other purposes. This discussion concerns the liquid-heating type only, which may either be of the Tellier (double sheet) type or of the sheet and tube type.
A typical flat-plate collector is an insulated metal box with a glass or plastic cover (called the glazing) and a dark-colored absorber plate. These collectors heat liquid or air at temperatures less than 80°C. Flat-plate collectors are used for residential water heating and hydronic space-heating installations.
The maximum possible useful energy gain in a solar collector occurs when the whole collector is at the inlet fluid temperature. The actual useful energy gain (Qu), is found by multiplying the collector heat removal factor (FR) by the maximum possible useful energy gain. This allows the rewriting of equation (4):
