This article presents the results of a study into a packed bed filled with ceramic bricks. The designed storage installation is supposed to become part of a heating system installed in a single-family house and eventually to be integrated with a concentrated solar collector adapted to climate conditions in Poland. The system's working medium is air. The investigated temperature ranges and air v...

Abstract Solar water heating systems have been widely used around the world. However, exposure to sunlight can overheat device, affecting efficiency and durability of system. This article proposes an adaptive deck controller that protects system from overheating without compromising availability domestic hot water. heaters are considered one most effective ways reduce a home’s carbon footprint....

Abstract Remote monitoring of solar still systems is an interesting step for performance analysis and supervision. In this article, a system developed integrated to system. The parameters considered (such as air temperatures, relative humidity, etc) have been posted on webpage via the Internet Things (IoT) technique. For this, ThingSpeak platform MathWorks used. results demonstrate that ground ...

One of the advantages of solar thermal power plants (STPPs) with molten salt as heat transfer fluid is the direct storage system. This means that the thermal energy collected by the solar field and the electric power generation can be fully decoupled. The plant operator must therefore make the daily decision when to start-up or to shut-down the power block (PB). Normally, the solar field of the...

The thermal performance of a single pass solar air heater with five fins attached was investigated experimentally. Longitudinal fins were used inferior the absorber plate to increase the heat exchange and render the flow fluid in the channel uniform. The effect of mass flow rate of air on the outlet temperature, the heat transfer in the thickness of the solar collector, and the thermal efficien...

Energi matahari sebagai sumber energi terbarukan dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi energy termal untuk proses pengeringan. Pengeringan menggunakan instalasi solar water heater, penukar panas, dan ruang pengering bahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui data temperatur air keluar dari heater menghitung efisiensi penyerapan panas pada kolektor heater. dilakukan dengan mengukur temperatur, intensitas c...
