Simplified Formula

The daily collected heat energy of solar collector in solar water heating system is calculated by the modeling of solar collector and stratified tank, and the result is verified by experiments. Through analysis of the calculation results, the simplified formula for calculating the daily collected heat energy is given. Using this simplified formula, the daily collected heat energy under different flow rates is calculated. The result shows that the daily collected heat energy of solar collector running in solar water heating system tends to stable when the flow rate above 0.005kg/(m2.s).

Evacuated Tube

The energy and the economic estimation for a passive solar water heating system under the Tirana climate conditions is performed. The trial system includes a heat pipe evacuated tube collector. To fulfil these objectives, measured values recorded every minute from the data logger of the system are used. The studied solar collector has a slope of 45° and is oriented 10° East from the South direction. The heat pipe evacuated tube collector has an aperture area of 1.476 m2. For an annual time period the irradiation on tilted solar collector area, the extracted energy from the storage tank, the delivered energy to the thermal consumer and the system efficiency were defined. Also, the economic assessment of the system is performed.
