Energy Analysis of Concentrated Photovoltaic/Thermal Panels with Nanofluids

In this study, a prototype system was established for location heating application and electricity generation through utilizing two concentrated photovoltaic thermal panels (CPV/T) possessing flat surface receivers connected in series with each other. The purpose of the is to supply needs room winter season meet requirement equipment used system. analysis installed system, different refrigerants (10% mono propylene glycol + 90% water 0.5% Al2O3-water nanofluid) were tested at three flow rates (0.4 m3/h, 0.5 0.6 m3/h). Throughout experiments, fan-coil air outlet temperature heat adjusted 35 °C an inverter process control device. results attained from experiments carried out using fluids throughout months days (April-May) have demonstrated that electrical efficiencies are found be good agreement other when evaluated terms utilized. highest energy recovery as 268 W m3/h rate glycol-water mixture 194 nanomixture. total efficiency around 22%. gain also calculated 2312 2041
