자연대류형 태양열 온수급탕 시스템의 열적성능에 관한 실험적 연구

An Experimental Study on Thermal Performance of Thermosyphon Solar Hot Water System

This study has been conducted to measure the performance of 5 thermosyphon solar water heaters suitable for Korean climate and to develop the most optimum system. Each system consists of two flat plate collectors of $4'{\times}8'$ (or three flat plate collectors of $3'{\times}6'$) connected in parallel and a storage tank of $300{\ell}$ capacity. Among the tested systems, the configuration that has two flat plate collectors of $4'{\times}8'$ and a horizontal tank-in-tank type storage unit with internal fins (C system) showed the highest performance.
