Solar collectors are the key part of solar water heating systems. The most widely produced solar collectors are flat plate solar collectors. In the present study, two types of flat plate collectors, namely square and rhombic collectors are experi?mentally tested and compared and the thermal performance of both collectors is investigated. The results show both collectors have the same performance around noon (?61%), but the rhombic collector has better performance in the morning and afternoon. The values for rhombic and square collectors are approximately 56.2% and 53.5% in the morning and 56.1% and 54% in the afternoon, respectively. The effect of flow rate is also studied. The thermal efficiency of rhombic and square flat plate collectors increases in proportion to the flow rate. The results indicated the rhombic collector had better performance in comparison with the square collector with respect to the mass-flow rate.

High Thermal Resistance

An experimental study of flat-plate solar collectors using ethylene, propylenediene monomer (EPDM) absorber plates is descn"bed. In spite of the high thermal resistance of this material the performance is found to compare well with metal absorbers and to be in agreement with the Hottel-Whillier-Bliss equation. There is, however, an observed increase in the heat loss coefficient for mass flow rates below a critical value.
