Thermal Performance of Modified V-Trough Solar Water Heater
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
There are various types of solar water heater system available in the commercial market to fulfil different customers’ demand, such as flat plate collector, concentrating collector, evacuated tube collector and integrated collector storage. A cost effective cum easy fabricated v-trough solar water heater system using forced circulation system is proposed. Integrating the solar absorber with the easily fabricated v-trough reflector can improve the performance of solar water heater system. In this paper, optical analysis, experimental study and cost analysis of the stationary v-trough solar water heater system are presented in details. To increase the thermal performance of solar water heater. A cost effective and easy fabricated v - trough solar water heater was modified by parallel flow thermosyphon water heater. Integrating the solar absorber with the easily fabricated v-trough reflector can improve the performance of solar water heater system. The performance of v - trough solar water heater is compared with flat plate solar water heater at same operating condition.
