| Abstract | ||
| An experimental study was carried out on a new design of a storage solar collector to verify its suitability for domestic use. The storage collector can be used as storage water tanks to replace the ordinary cubical or cylindrical tank commonly used in Iraqi houses. Experiments were carried out for both summer and winter weather conditions with and without hot water removal. The hourly system performance parameters were investigated systematically for all test conditions. These included the mean storage temperature and total stored energy. The day-long collection efficiency of the triangular collector under no load condition in winter (13-November-2004) was found to be 48.7% for a maximum mean storage temperature of 40.5 oC and a maximum hot water temperature at the tip of the collector of 65 oC. In summer (9-July-2004), the day-long collection efficiency was found to be 62.2% for a maximum mean storage temperature of 57 oC and a maximum hot water temperature of 70 oC. At continuous loading, the collection efficiency was 55.7% in winter, and 65.1% in summer. Also, in winter the maximum difference between the outlet and inlet water temperatures were 12 oC at 2 p.m. and 9 oC at the end of the day | ||
