The thermal performance of the air receiver filled with porous material for 5kWt dish solar collector installed in Inha University, Korea, is experimentally investigated. The diameter of the parabolic dish is 3.2 m, and its focal length is 2 m. It consists of 10 small pieces of glasses which have their own curvatures, and the effective reflecting area is 5.9 m2. The reflectivity of the glass is 0.95, and the thermal capacity of the system is about 5 kW thermal. The aperture diameter of the cylindrical-shape receiver which is made of stainless steel is 100 mm, and the height is 210 mm. A quartz window is installed at the receiver aperture to minimize the convective heat loss and prevent air leakages. In order to increase the heat transfer area, porous material (nickel-alloy) is inserted into the receiver. Air flows into the upper part of the receiver, which is the opposite side of the aperture. After the air flows through the inside receiver, that goes out of the receiver through 3 exits which are located near the aperture. The volumetric flow rates of air are varied from 600 to 1200 L/min. The thermal efficiency of the receiver ranges from 82% - 92% depending upon the flow rate. The results show that the system efficiency and receiver efficiency increase as the volume flow rate increases as expected. These results from the experiment will be useful for the applications to air heating receivers and solar reactors.

평판형 태양열 집열기의 효율을 높이기 위한 방법으로 열전달 향상 장치의 삽입, 표면 거칠기의 변화 등 다양한 방법들이 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 실험을 통해 다양한 열전달 향상 장치를 제작하고 이를 덕트에 삽입해 실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 기본적으로 덕트 윗 평판에 일정한 열유속을 가하였고, 삽입된 모델은 매끈한 덕트 형상(Base case)과 Chamfered rib $10^{\circ}$, Chamfered rib $20^{\circ}$, Rib & Groove, Rib & Dimple 모델이다. 실험은 Reynolds 수가 2,300~22,000의 범위에서 이루어졌으며 이는 난류영역에 해당한다. 열전달 향상 장치를 삽입하면 면적의 증가와 2차 유동으로 인하여 열전달이 향상되고, Reynolds 수가 증가할수록 열전달이 향상되었으며 압력강하도 증가하였다. 열전달 측면에서는 Rib & Dimple 모델이 열전달 향상 효과가 가장 좋았으며, 압력강하는 Chamfered rib $10^{\circ}$ 모델이 가장 낮았으며, 성능계수 측면에서도 Chamfered rib $10^{\circ}$ 모델이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The suggested year round solar air conditioning system has been developed for cooling and heating. In particular, this system focused on cooling and dehumidification and it could reduce a peak time owing to the use of air conditioners in summer. This study was performed to find out how much heating loads could be saved and furthermore whether this suggested system would be possible to do heating without a switch of system in real situations. Through model house experiments, the following conclusions were obtained. 1) The collector efficiency was 36% at maximum, but more improved structure of suggested collector could increase its efficiency. 2) The temperature of outlet air was about $30^{\circ}C$ and it could reduce heating loads. 3) Measured temperature and calculated one agreed well within ${\pm}1.5^{\circ}C$.

우리나라 남부지방은 대체적으로 태양 일사량이 풍부하여 태양열 시스템의 설치조건으로는 가장 좋은 지역이다. 현재까지 국내에 보급된 태양열 시스템은 외기조건이 불량한 경우에는 비효율적이다. 최근 태양열 온수기는 전국적으로 매우 활발히 보급되고 있고 태양열 온수기에 대한 일반인들의 인식은 그 어느 때보다 높다고 할 수 있다. 태양열이용 열펌프시스템 기술은 소형 온수기에의 적용 뿐 아니라 건물의 난방기술에도 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 태양열 집열기 직접 팽창식 열펌프시스템(이하 '태양열 시스템')의 열성능 효율 향상에 가장 많이 기여하는 팽창장치와 롤본드형 태양열집열기에 대하여 실험하였고 현장 적용가능성을 분석하였다. 또한 태양열 열펌프식 온수 및 난방시스템의 한국의 남부지방에서의 적용가능성은 지난 관련연구결과를 분석하여 비교하여 모색하였다.

This paper describes an experimental study on efficiency of solar collector in solar water heating system connected to hourly water heating load. In general, the functional form of solar efficiency is expressed as a function of fluid temperature entering solar collector, ambient temperature, and solar irradiance. When energy saving from solar heating of water heating system is analyzed on along-term basis such as one year with given solar irradiance data, simplified analysis is more convenient han detailed system simulation for quick assessment. However, the functional form of the efficiency is not convenient for approximately simplified energy analysis because the inlet temperature can be obtained through a detailed system simulation. In the study, solar collector efficiency is obtained with various daily water heating load sand daily solar irradiance using experimental tests. The study also considers large residential buildings such as apartment buildings for application of solar water heating systems. From test results, it is found that daily solar collector efficiency is proportional to daily water heating loads and daily solar irradiance. The data obtained from the study can be utilized to find a functional relation between daily solar irradiance and daily heating load in stead of collector inlet temperature for application of solar collector efficiency to long-term approximated energy analysis of solar heating system.

A photovoltaic/thermal (PVT)solar system is the solar technology that allows for simultaneous conversion of solar energy into both electricity and heat. This paper compared the performance of PVT system with a conventional PV module and solar collector and analyzed electrical and thermal efficiency of PVT system in terms of solar irradiance and inlet temperature of the working fluid. Based on the experimental data, thermal and electrical efficiencies of he glazed PVT system were57.9% and14.27% under zero reduced temperature condition which were lower by 13.6% than the solar thermal absorber plate and by 0.08% than the PV module respectively. For the unglazed PVT system it had lower thermal efficiency than the solar thermal absorber plate but higher electrical performance than the PV module due to the cooling effect by the working fluid. However, total efficiency of the glazed PVT system was72.2% which was higher than combined efficiencies of the solar collector and PV module. Besides, total efficiency of the PVT system would be much higher if calculated based on unit area.
