The term "solar collector" commonly refers to a device for solar hot water heating, but may refer to large power generating installations such as solar parabolic troughs and solar towers or non- water heating devices such as solar cookers or solar air heaters. Solar thermal collectors are either non-concentrating or concentrating.
Solar collectors are the key component of solar-heating systems. There are several types of solar collectors: A vacuum tube collector (Fig. 1) consists of a group of single vacuum tubes linked together to one collector. Built into each tube is a coated absorber made of copper or glass. The vacuum in the glass tubes ensures optimum heat insulation.
Flat-plate and evacuated-tube solar collectors are mainly used to collect heat for space heating, domestic hot water, or cooling with an absorption chiller. In contrast to solar hot water panels, they use a circulating fluid to displace heat to a separated reservoir.
6. Conclusions A vacuum enclosure, suitable for use in solar collectors, was fabricated from 4 mm tempered Pilkington K-glass, a stainless steel edge spacer and a stainless steel pillar array. The enclosure was designed to accommodate a solar absorber plate which will be added in future analysis.
Glazed Solar Collectors (recirculating types that are usually used for space heating). Air typically passes along the front or back of the absorber plate while scrubbing heat directly from it. Heated air can then be distributed directly for applications such as space heating and drying or may be stored for later use.
The enclosure was designed to accommodate a solar absorber plate which will be added in future analysis. To seal the enclosure, the joint surfaces were tinned with Cerasolzer 217 solder using an ultrasonic soldering iron. The solder layers were then fused in a bake-out oven.
