Title: | Computer simulation of the performance of a thermosyphon solar water-heater | Authors: | Lee, WenShiang Wilson, Derek R. Michaelides, Ioannis |
Keywords: | Water heaters;Energy conservation;Solar energy | Issue Date: | 1992 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Source: | Applied Energy, 1992, Volume 41, Issue 2, Pages 149-163 | Abstract: | The instantaneous collector-efficiency has been determined as a function of the time of day and correlated with the thermosyphonic-flow rate of water and the temperature difference between the water at the collector's inlet and outlet. The model was also used to predict the monthly and yearly solar-contribution of the system for two different load profiles. The results of the simulation indicate that the yearly solar contribution of the system for a low-consumption profile is about 89% as compared with 63% for a high consumption pattern. | URI: | http://ktisis.cut.ac.cy/handle/10488/7495 | ISSN: | 03062619 | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0306-2619(92)90042-A | Rights: | © 1992 Elsevier Science | Type: | Article |
