24 Thermal analysis of collectors
25 Useful energy collected from a General formula: q u c collector [ G U ( T T )] = mc [ T T] = A τα t by substituting inlet fluid temperature (Ti) for the average plate temperature (Tp): q q u u c R Where F R is the heat removal factor L p a [ U( ( T ) T )] G (τα U T T [ ] = AFA F ) ) R t t L L i i p a o a i
26 Collector efficiency Finally, the collector efficiency can be obtained by dividing q u by (G t A c ). Therefore: n = F R τα U L ( T i G t T a )
27 Overall heat loss coefficient The overall heat loss coefficient is a complicated function of the collector construction and its operating conditions and it is given by the following expression: U L =U t +U b +U e (for flat plate collector) i.e., it is the heat transfer resistance from the absorber plate to the ambient air.
28 Concentration The concentration ratio (C) is defined as the ratio of the aperture area to the receiver/absorber area, i.e.: C = A A a r For flat-plate collectors with no reflectors, C=1. For concentrators C is always greater than 1. For a single axis tracking collector the maximum possible concentration is given by: C max 1 = sin( θ m ) and for two-axes tracking collector: C max 1 = 2 sin ( θ ) m where θ m is the half acceptance angle limited by the size of the sun s disk, small scale errors and irregularities of the reflector surface and tracking errors.
29 Maximum concentration For a perfect collector and tracking system C max depends only on the sun s disk which has a width of 0.53 (32 ). Therefore: For single axis tracking: C max = 1/sin(16 ) = 216 For full tracking: C max = 1/sin 2 (16 ) = 46,747
30 Concentrating collectors The useful energy delivered from a concentrator is: q u = G b n o A a AU ( T T ) Where n o is the optical efficiency given by: n o = ρταγ And A f is the geometric factor given by: r L r [( ) ] 1 A tan( θ ) cos( θ ) f a A f 2 2 W = + + a Wh a p fwa f
31 Concentrating collectors efficiency Similarly as for the flat-plate collector the heat removal factor can be used: q u = F R [ Gn A AU ( T T )] b o a r L i a And the collector efficiency can be obtained by dividing qu by (G b A a ): n = F R n o U L Ti T GC b a Note C in the denominator
32 PERFORMANCE OF SOLAR COLLECTORS The thermal performance of the solar collector is determined by: Obtaining values of instantaneous efficiency for different combinations of incident radiation, ambient temperature, and inlet fluid temperature. Obtaining the transient thermal response characteristics of the collector (time constant). Determining the incidence angle modifier.
33 1. Collector Thermal Efficiency In reality the heat loss coefficient U L in previous equations is not constant but is a function of collector inlet and ambient temperatures. Therefore: F R U L = c + c ( T T 1 2 i a Applying above equation we have: For flat-plate collectors: q u = A F τα a R and for concentrating collectors: q u = F R ) [ ] 2 G c T T ) c ( T T t 1 ( i a 2 i a ) [ ] 2 G n A Ac T T ) Ac ( T T b o a r 1 ( i a r 2 i a )
34 Flat plate collector efficiency Therefore for flat-plate collectors the efficiency can be written as: n = F τα R c 1 ( Ti Ta ) ( Ti T c2 G G and if we denote c o =F R τα and x=(t i -T a )/G t then: t t a ) 2 n = c o cx cgx 1 2 t 2
35 Concentrating collector efficiency For concentrating collectors the efficiency can be written as: n = F R n o c 2 1 ( Ti Ta ) c2 ( Ti Ta ) CG b CG and if we denote k o =F R n o, k 1 =c 1 /C, k 2 =c 2 /C and y=(t i -T a )/G b then: b n = k o k y k G y 1 2 b 2
36 Efficiency plots Usually the second-order terms are neglected in which case c 2 =0 and k 2 =0 (or third term in above equations is neglected). For flat plate collectors: Equations plot as a straight line on a graph of efficiency versus the heat loss parameter (T i - T a )/G t The intercept (intersection of the line with the vertical efficiency axis) equals to F R τα. The slope of the line equals to -F R U L For concentrating collectors: Equations plot as a straight line on a graph of efficiency versus the heat loss parameter (T i - T a )/G b The intercept equals F R n o. The slope of the line equals to -F R U L /C.

38 Incidence Angle Modifier Flat-plate collectors The above performance equations assume that the sun is perpendicular to the plane of the collector, which rarely occurs. For the glass cover plates of a flat-plate collector, specular reflection of radiation occurs thereby reducing the (τα) product. The incident angle modifier is defined as the ratio of τα at some incident angle θ to τα at normal radiation (τα) n : k ατ 1 1 = 1 bo 1 b1 1 cos( θ) cos( θ) For single glass cover, a single-order equation can be used with b o equal to -0.1 and b 1 =0 2
39 Efficiency equation by considering incidence angle modifier With the incidence angle modifier the collector efficiency equation can be modified as: n τα = FR ( ) nkατ c 1 ( T i T G t a ) c 2 ( T i T G t a ) 2
40 Incidence Angle Modifier Concentrating collectors For off-normal incidence angles, the optical efficiency term (n o ) is often difficult to be described analytically because it depends on the actual concentrator geometry, concentrator optics, receiver geometry and receiver optics which may differ significantly. Fortunately, the combined effect of these parameters at different incident angles can be accounted for with the incident angle modifier. It describes how the optical efficiency of the collector changes as the incident angle changes. Thus performance equation becomes: n = FRKατ n o c 2 1 ( Ti Ta ) c2 ( Ti Ta ) CG b CG b
41 Actual incidence angle modifier Incidence angle modifie By using a curve fitting method (second order polynomial fit), the curve that best fits the points can be obtained: K ατ Angle (Deg.) = ( θ ) ( θ ) 2
42 Concentrating Collector Acceptance Angle Another test required for the concentrating collectors is the determination of the collector acceptance angle, which characterises the effect of errors in the tracking mechanism angular orientation. This can be found with the tracking mechanism disengaged and measuring the efficiency at various out of focus angles as the sun is travelling over the collector plane Efficiency factor Angle of incidence (Deg.)
43 Collector Time Constant A last aspect of collector testing is the determination of the heat capacity of a collector in terms of a time constant. Whenever transient conditions exist, performance equations given before do not govern the thermal performance of the collector since part of the absorbed solar energy is used for heating up the collector and its components.
44 Collector time constant The time constant of a collector is the time required for the fluid leaving the collector to reach 63% of its ultimate steady value after a step change in incident radiation. The collector time constant is a measure of the time required for the following relationship to apply: T T ot oi T i T i = 1 = e T ot = Collector outlet water temperature after time t ( C) T oi = Collector outlet initial water temperature ( C) T i = Collector inlet water temperature ( C) The procedure for performing this test is to operate the collector with the fluid inlet temperature maintained at the ambient temperature. The incident solar energy is then abruptly reduced to zero by either shielding a flat-plate collector, or defocusing a concentrating one. The temperatures of the transfer fluid are continuously monitored as a function of time until above equation is satisfied.

49 Solar Water Heating Systems Thermosyphon systems Integrated collector storage systems Direct circulation systems Indirect water heating systems Air systems
50 Thermosyphon systems (passive) Thermosyphon systems heat potable water or heat transfer fluid and use natural convection to transport it from the collector to storage. The water in the collector expands becoming less dense as the sun heats it and rises through the collector into the top of the storage tank. There it is replaced by the cooler water that has sunk to the bottom of the tank, from which it flows down the collector. The circulation continuous as long as there is sunshine. Since the driving force is only a small density difference larger than normal pipe sizes must be used to minimise pipe friction. Connecting lines must be well insulated to prevent heat losses and sloped to prevent formation of air pockets which would stop circulation.

58 Pressurized system on inclined roof
59 Integrated collector storage systems (passive) Integrated collector storage (ICS) systems use hot water storage as part of the collector, i.e., the surface of the storage tank is used also as an absorber. The main disadvantage of the ICS systems is the high thermal losses from the storage tank to the surroundings since most of the surface area of the storage tank cannot be thermally insulated as it is intentionally exposed for the absorption of solar radiation. Thermal losses are greatest during the night and overcast days with low ambient temperature. Due to these losses the water temperature drops substantially during the night especially during the winter.
60 Fully developed cusp
61 The final ICS collector
62 Direct circulation systems (active) In direct circulation systems a pump is used to circulate potable water from storage to the collectors when there is enough available solar energy to increase its temperature and then return the heated water to the storage tank until it is needed. As a pump circulates the water, the collectors can be mounted either above or below the storage tank.
63 Direct circulation system
64 Drain-down system When a freezing condition or a power failure occurs, the system drains automatically by isolating the collector array and exterior piping from the makeup water supply and draining it using the two normally open (NO) valves
65 Direct or forced circulation type domestic SWH In this system only the solar panels are visible on the roof. The hot water storage tank is located indoors in a plantroom. The system is completed with piping, pump and a differential thermostat. This type of system is more appealing mainly due to architectural and aesthetic reasons but also more expensive.
66 Force circulation system-1
67 Force circulation system-2
68 Swimming pool heating
69 Indirect water heating systems (active) Indirect water heating systems circulate a heat transfer fluid through the closed collector loop to a heat exchanger, where its heat is transferred to the potable water. The most commonly used heat transfer fluids are water/ethylene glycol solutions, although other heat transfer fluids such as silicone oils and refrigerants can also be used. The heat exchanger can be located inside the storage tank, around the storage tank (tank mantle) or can be external. It should be noted that the collector loop is closed and therefore an expansion tank and a pressure relief valve are required.
70 Indirect water heating system
71 Drain-back system Circulation continues as long as usable energy is available. When the circulation pump stops the collector fluid drains by gravity to a drain-back tank.
72 Large solar water heating system
73 Air systems Air systems are indirect water heating systems that circulate air via ductwork through the collectors to an air-to-liquid heat exchanger. In the heat exchanger, heat is transferred to the potable water, which is also circulated through the heat exchanger and returned to the storage tank. The main advantage of the system is that air does not need to be protected from freezing or boiling, is non-corrosive, and is free. The disadvantages are that air handling equipment (ducts and fans) need more space than piping and pumps, air leaks are difficult to detect, and parasitic power consumption is generally higher than that of liquid systems.
74 Air system
75 Solar Space Heating and Cooling Space Heating and Service Hot Water Air systems Water systems
76 Solar Space Heating and Cooling The components and subsystems discussed so far may be combined to create a wide variety of building solar heating and cooling systems. Active solar space systems use collectors to heat a fluid, storage units to store solar energy until needed, and distribution equipment to provide the solar energy to the heated spaces in a controlled manner. The load can be space cooling, heating, or a combination of these two with hot water supply. In combination with conventional heating equipment solar heating provides the same levels of comfort, temperature stability, and reliability as conventional systems.
77 Space Heating and Service Hot Water It is useful to consider solar systems as having five basic modes of operation, depending on the conditions that exist in the system at a particular time: If solar energy is available and heat is not needed in the building, energy gain from the collector is added to storage. If solar energy is available and heat is needed in the building, energy gain from the collector is used to supply the building need. If solar energy is not available, heat is needed in the building, and the storage unit has stored energy in it, the stored energy is used to supply the building need. If solar energy is not available, heat is needed in the building, and the storage unit has been depleted, auxiliary energy is used to supply the building need. The storage unit is fully heated, there are no loads to met, and the collector is absorbing heat-relief heat.
78 Air systems A schematic of a basic solar heating system using air as the heat transfer fluid, with pebble bed storage unit and auxiliary heating source is shown in next slide. The various modes of operations are achieved by appropriate positioning of the dampers. In most air systems it is not practical to combine the modes of adding energy to and removing energy from storage at the same time. Auxiliary energy can be combined with energy supplied from collector or storage to top-up the air temperature in order to cover the building load. It is possible to bypass the collector and storage unit when auxiliary alone is being used to provide heat.
79 Schematic of basic hot air system
80 Detail schematic of a solar air heating system
81 Water systems When used for both space and hot water production this system allows independent control of the solar collector-storage and storage-auxiliary-load loops as solar-heated water can be added to storage at the same time that hot water is removed from storage to meet building loads. Usually, a bypass is provided around the storage tank to avoid heating the storage tank, which can be of considerable size, with auxiliary energy.
82 Detail schematic of a solar water heating system
83 Solar Refrigeration Solar cooling can be considered for two related processes: to provide refrigeration for food and medicine preservation and to provide comfort cooling. Absorption systems are similar to vapourcompression air conditioning systems but differ in the pressurisation stage. The most usual combinations of fluids include lithium bromide-water (LiBr-H 2 O) where water vapour is the refrigerant and ammonia-water (NH 3 -H 2 O) systems where ammonia is the refrigerant.
84 Absorption systems The pressurisation is achieved by dissolving the refrigerant in the absorbent, in the absorber section. Subsequently, the solution is pumped to a high pressure with an ordinary liquid pump. The addition of heat in the generator is used to separate the low-boiling refrigerant from the solution. In this way the refrigerant vapour is compressed without the need of large amounts of mechanical energy that the vapour-compression air conditioning systems demand.

86 Industrial Process Heat
87 Industrial Process Heat The central system for heat supply in most factories uses hot water or steam at a medium temperature of about 150 C. Hot water or low pressure steam at medium temperatures can be used either for preheating of water (or other fluids) used for processes (washing, dyeing, etc.) or for steam generation or by direct coupling of the solar system to an individual process. In the case of water preheating, higher efficiencies are obtained due to the low input temperature to the solar system, thus lowtechnology collectors can work effectively.

89 PTCs for water heating
90 Solar steam generation systems Parabolic trough collectors are frequently employed for solar steam generation because relatively high temperatures can be obtained without any serious degradation in the collector efficiency. Low temperature steam can be used in industrial applications, sterilisation, and for powering desalination evaporators. Three methods have been employed to generate steam using parabolic trough collectors: The steam-flash concept. The direct or in-situ concept. The unfired-boiler concept.
91 The steam-flash steam generation concept In steam-flash concept, a pressurised water is heated in the collector and then flashed to steam in a separate vessel. Back
92 The direct steam generation concept In direct or insitu concept, a two phase flow is allowed in the collector receiver so that steam is generated directly. Back
93 The unfired-boiler steam generation concept In unfired-boiler concept, a heat-transfer fluid is circulated through the collector and steam is generated via heatexchange in an unfired boiler.
94 Solar Desalination Systems
95 Solar Desalination Systems Water is one of the most abundant resources on earth, covering three-fourths of the planet's surface. About 97% of the earth's water is salt water in the oceans; 3% of all fresh water is in ground water, lakes and rivers, which supply most of human and animal needs. The only nearly inexhaustible sources of water are the oceans Their main drawback, however, is their high salinity. It would be attractive to tackle the watershortage problem with desalination of this water.
96 Desalination processes Desalination can be achieved by using a number of techniques. These may be classified into the following categories: - phase-change or thermal processes; and - membrane or single-phase processes. PHASE-CHANGE PROCESSES 1. Multi-stage flash (MSF) 2. Multiple effect boiling (MEB) 3. Vapour compression (VC) 4. Freezing 5. Humidification/Dehumidification 6. Solar stills - conventional stills - special stills - wick-type stills - multiple-wick-type stills MEMBRANE PROCESSES 1. Reverse osmosis (RO) - RO without energy recovery - RO with energy recovery (ER-RO) 2. Electrodialysis (ED)
97 Solar Stills
98 Multiple Effect Boiling Evaporator Multiple Effect Stack (MES) type evaporator This is the most appropriate type for solar energy applications. Advantages: Stable operation between virtually zero and 100% output even when sudden changes are made (most important). Its ability to follow a varying steam supply without upset.

The solar systems differ from the ones considered so far as these operate at much higher temperatures.
