Flat plate collector for process heat with honeycomb cover - an alternative to vacuum tube collectors
Abstract
A flat plate collector for process heat applications has been developed incorporating a polycarbonate honeycomb structure in the cover. The paper describes the collector design, indoor and outdoor efficiency measurements and the resulting collector performance data. At delta T = 100 degrees C and G = 800 W/squaremeter, an efficiency of 48% is reached. Some results of a system with 11 squaremeters absorber area and 300 litre storage, operating at temperatures of 80 to 100 degrees C, are reported. (ISE)
