Abstract

In this paper, study on performance analysis of bubble pump on the domestic solar water heater system is presented. Device of this experiment is consisted of bubble pump, solar collector and heat exchanger. At the mean time, this system have attached temperature sensors and pressure sensors at bubble pump. In addition, the flow meter was installed at outlet of heat exchanger. And then result of experimental study, average value of the heat exchange amount in heat exchanger was about 7.9kcal/hr, the maximum value of the heat amount in water tank($0.4m^3$) was 489.7kcal/hr and the maximum value of the mass flow rate in bubble pump was about $0.5{\ell}/min$.
