Developments in Solar Water Heating

Solar water heating system technology is described and the scale of the International solar water heater market is surveyed. New product developments for both direct solar water heating and solar boosted heat pump water heating are outlined. Procedures adopted by the International Standards Organisation for assessing solar water heater performance and quality are discussed.

Investigating the effect of hot water consumption profile on the performance of solar water heating systems

In this paper, a forced circulation solar water heater system is simulated for different hot water consumption profiles using flat plate collectors as well as evacuated tube collectors. The profiles studied are the actual samples of hot water consumption profiles for different commercial centers and institutions. Dynamic simulation outputs of system thermal performance are used as economic anal...

Modeling terahertz heating effects on water.

We apply Kirchhoff's heat equation to model the influence of a CW terahertz beam on a sample of water, which is assumed to be static. We develop a generalized model, which easily can be applied to other liquids and solids by changing the material constants. If the terahertz light source is focused down to a spot with a diameter of 0.5 mm, we find that the steady-state temperature increase per m...

Optimization of Solar Water Heating System under Time and Spatial Partition Heating in Rural Dwellings

Abstract: This paper proposes the application of time and spatial partition heating to a solar water heating system. The heating effect and system performance were analyzed under the continuous and whole space heating and time and spatial partition heating using TRNSYS. The results were validated by comparing with the test results of the demonstration building. Compared to continuous and whole ...
