The analysis of thermal performance of the flat-plate collector includes parameters such as
solar intensity, ambient temperature and configuration of flat-plate collectors etc. In this paper,
the effect of the parameter (Ti- Ta)/IT on thermal performance of glazed flat-plate solar collector
was experimentally analyzed for water heating application in winter climatic condition. The flatplate collector consists of the total surface area 0.6656 m2 and the copper tubes are integrated
beneath the absorber plate. The plate has a selective coating with high absorptivity of 92% and
the heat transfer fluid flowing in the tubes is water. In the paper, evaluation of useful heat gain or
collector efficiency has been done. It is based on steady state analysis and by calculating the
thermal performance of liquid flat-plate collector. Results show that the flat-plate collector gives
good performance and provide a desire quantity of hot water. |
