Solar Water Heating System

Solar power is a clean source of energy, i.e. it does not generate carbon dioxide or other air pollutants. In 2017, solar power produced only 0.6 percent of the energy used in the United States, according to the Energy Information Administration. Consequently, more solar energy should be implemented, such as in solar water heaters. This research took place in Riverside, Southern California where there is an abundance of solar energy. In house uniquely designed and assembled solar tubes were used in designing a mini solar water heating system. The mini solar water heating system was set to operate under either natural or forced convection. The results of running the system under forced convection then under natural convection conditions are reported and discussed in the article. In addition, comparison of using two different solar water storage systems are reported: the first was water; the second storage medium was a combination of water and gravel. Since water heaters are extensively used for residential purposes, this research mimicked the inefficiencies in residential use and is compared with ideal operating conditions. The performance of the different cases studied is evaluated.

Solar Water Heating System

This paper proposed an experimental test: the solar water-heating system was been monitored for a whole year to analyze collector performance in an actual operation process. Heat-collecting efficiency, heating capacity, power consumption, and heat required were analyzed theoretically. Results showed that solar irradiance and ambient temperature were positively correlated with heat collection efficiency, and the daily average heat collection efficiency was up to 56.63%. In winter, the auxiliary heat source consumed the most power, almost all of which bears the heat of users. The heat collection in summer met the demand for hot water, and the guarantee rate of solar energy could reach 100%. The energy saving properties and CO2 emission reduction were analyzed. This system had a significant effect on the energy-saving effect and environmental protection. The analysis showed that the hot-water system can fully meet the design requirements under the condition of relatively sufficient solar energy, and can operate stably, which has a certain guiding significance for the design and application of large-scale solar hot-water systems.
