Principle of energy flows in a solar collector . Temperature of the ambient air. The efficiency parameters of a wide range of collectors can be found at This website list only collectors which have been tested according to the standard EN12975 by an impartial test institute.
The principle of operation is similar to a flat plate collector in that solar radiation (both direct and diffuse) enters through the glass tube and is absorbed by the absorber plate, which transfers the heat into a heat transfer fluid inside the collector tube.
The efficiency of a solar collector depends on the ability to absorb heat and the reluctance to “lose it” once absorbed. Figure 7.1.1 illustrates the principles of energy flows in a solar collector. Fig. 7.1.1. Principle of energy flows in a solar collector . Temperature of the ambient air.
The only parameter now missing is the solar collector optical model for which the integral formulations of the parabolic trough collector (PTC, cf. Chap. 7) or the linear Fresnel collector (LFC, cf. Chap. 7) have to be introduced in order to specify the local and time dependent linear absorber heat flux \ ( {\dot {q}}_ {abs}\) (Eq. (10.36)).
Reflector attachment with collector added extra radiation on the surface of collector which enhances useful energy gain by working fluid. Daliran and Ajabshirchi (2018) have investigated effect of attachment of fins on operational parameters and efficiency of solar collector having an air working fluid.
This type of collector is generally used in solar power plants. A trough-shaped parabolic reflector is used to concentrate sunlight on an insulated tube (Dewar tube) or heat pipe, placed at the focal point, containing coolant which transfers heat from the collectors to the boilers in the power station.

For many applications it is desirable to deliver energy at temperatures higher than those possible with flat-plate collectors or evacuated tube collectors. Energy delivery temperatures can be increased by decreasing the area from which heat losses occur. This is done by concentrating solar radiation on a small absorber.
The flat-plate solar collectors are probably the most fundamental and most studied technology for solar-powered domestic hot water systems. Principle: The basic principle for this device is that the sun heats a dark flat surface, which collects as much energy as possible, and then the energy is transferred to water, air, or other fluid for further use. Construction and Working: These are the ...
