알루미늄 재질의 찬넬을 흡열판으로 이용하는 평판형 태양열 집열기를 개발하였다. 이러한 흡열판은 찬넬 내부 전체로 전열매체가 흐르기 때문에 집열기의 열적성능을 향상시킬 것으로 예상되며, 모듈화되어 있어 제작 및 설치가 기존 흡열판보다 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 제작된 찬넬형 평판형 태양열 집열기에 대한 집열효율 시험을 수차례 수행하면서 성능을 개선시키고 있으며, 그 결과 기존 상용화된 집열기 수준의 우수한 열적성능을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 알루미늄 재질 흡열판 외에 플라스틱 재질의 찬넬형 흡열판도 적용하였으며, 기타 실용화 및 성능 향상에 필요한 요소들에 대해 연구하였다.

In this study, a model of a flat plate solar collector using a heat pipe was manufactured and tested to investigate such operational characteristics of the present system of solar collector as start-up process, temperature distribution on the absorber plate and operation of the heat pipe. Moreover, collector efficiency was measured for 20-30 minutes of operation at various conditions of weather and the result was compared with that tested by Hill et. a. for a flat plate solar collector using direct circulation of coolant. Some results obtained in this study could be summarized as follows. (1) The required time for the initial start-up process was about 5-6 minutes, but the heat pipe began to operate as soon as the absorber plate was exposed to solar radiation. (2) On the absorber plate, the temperature distributions in axial direction maintained nearly constant, while temperature distributions in transversal direction showed smooth decrease with $3-5^{\cird}C$ along with solar radiation. (3) Thermal inertia of the collector system had a favorable effect to damp the turbulent variation of solar radiation. (4) The collector efficiency of the present system showed nearly the same tendency but a decrease of about 10% compared with that using direct circulation of coolant.

본 연구에서 원추형 태양열 집광기의 흡수관 표면의 흑색 도색 여부에 따른 효율분석을 수행하였다. 원추형 집광기 시스템은 열 손실 최소화 및 집광비가 우수한 $45^{\circ}$의 원추각을 갖는 원추형 집광기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 원추형 태양열 집광시스템은 열매체 축열을 위한 온도센서가 내장된 축열조와 태양에너지를 집열시키는 원추형 집광기, 유량측정을 위한 유량계, 열매체의 강제순환을 위한 펌프로 구성되어있다. 또한 지속적인 태양추적을 위해 2축 태양 추적 장치를 설치하였다. 흡수관은 원추형 집광기의 중심부에 설비되었으며, 열매체의 순환을 위해 이중 열교환기 구조로 제작되었다. 흡수관의 길이는 열 손실을 최소화하기 위하여 집광기의 높이와 동일하게 설계하였다. 원추형 집광시스템의 작동유체인 물은 펌프에 의해 흡수관과 축열조를 강제순환 하게되고, 용량이 70L인 축열조에 흡수관으로부터 흡수된 태양 복사열이 저장된다. 원추형 집광시스템의 성능실험은 청명한 날 유량 2L/min, 4L/min, 6L/min에 대해 수행되었으며, 집열효율을 계산하여 비교 및 분석하였다. 흑색으로 도색된 흡수기를 부착한 원추형 집광시스템의 집열효율은 82.25%로 나타났으며, 무 도색 흡수관을 갖는 원추형 집광시스템은 73.26%의 집열효율을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 흡수관 표면의 흑색 도색이 원추형 집광시스템의 집열효율에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 현재 국내 외적으로 널리 공급되고 있는 유리식(glass) 진공관형 태양열 집열기를 대체할 수 있는 비유리식(non-glass) 진공관형 태양열 집열기의 설계 및 제작에 관한 실험적 내용을 소개하고 있다. 비유리식 진공관형 태양열 집열기는 유리식에 비해 그 내구성이 탁월할 뿐 아니라 적용성도 뛰어나지만 비유리식 집열기는 유리식 집열기와 달리 외부공기 입자의 진공관 내부로의 확산을 억제하거나 그 내부의 진공도 유지를 위해 특수 설계를 하여야 하며 아울러 소재의 특성을 최대한 살릴 수 있는 응용 기술의 개발을 필요로 한다. 이를 위하여 진공관 내부의 일정한 진공도 유지를 위해 집열기와 별도로 설치된 Vacuum Chamber를 진공관과 튜브(vacuum connector)로 연결하여 진공관 내의 outgasing이 가능하도록 할 수도 있으며, 진공관 외피에 공기의 침투를 억제하기 위한 gas barrier coating을 고려할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서 소개하는 비유리식(non-glass) 진공관형 태양열 집열기는 기계, 화공, 재료 등 다양한 분야의 원천 기술을 복합적으로 적용한 것으로 기존의 유리식에 비해 설계 및 제작에 있어서 다소 복잡한 양상을 띠고 있다.

Three methods for heat collection, which were the flat solar collector, two fan with radiator, and square pipe method, were studied to sue efficiently solar energy in the three different glasshouses for two years. The flat plate solar collector method was made use of the commercial solar collector with collection area of 24$m^2$, the method of two fans with radiators collected solar energy at the top of the glasshouse. An thermal storage tank was constructed underneath in teach glasshouses. When an area of 1,000$m^2$ was heated to the minimum temperature of 9$^{\circ}C$, the decrease rate of heating fuel for the flat plate solar collector, the fan attached radiator and the square pipe methods were 7%, 19% and 28% respectively. The flat plate solar collector method, which could be heated approximately 40-50$m^2$, was currently used by most of the farmer. Under the condition, the decrease rate of annual heating fuel was 14% which was not better for an economic annual heating fuel. If the fan with radiator method was operated, the use of installation and maintenance were required. So, it could not be good economic efficiency of solar heating. The heating efficiency of the square pipe method was relatively better thant those of the flat plate solar collector or the fan attached radiator. Since the cost of materials and its installation of the use of square pipe method was lower than any other method. However, corrosion of the pipe, greater shade in the greenhouse and strength against the square pipe were problems that should be overcome in the square pipe method.

In general, flat-plate solar collectors are generally fixed in place at some angles. The most common method is to orient solar collectors toward the true south, where variations up to 15 degrees east or west are acceptable and the tiIt angle of the collectors is calculated from latitude and different heating applications. However, the best angle of flat-plate collectors depends upon whether the dominant load occurs in the winter, summer, or evenly all year. Moreover, this setting angle must consider the average insolation characteristics of the region exactly. In this study, the setting angle of flat-plate solar collectors is presented for Busan area by using domestic typical meteorological year weather data, so that the fixed flat-plate solar collectors must be set as quantitatively as possible.

The application of solar energy in residential building is general and natural in today. And application methods of solar thermal energy is divided in two kind of form, single evacuated tube and flat-plate form. Then in this study, the efficiency of single evacuated tube and flat-plate system is compared by total and effective area considering the time receiving the solar radiation between 24 hours and the specific time(10:00~15:00). As a result of the experiment, single evacuated tube and flat-plate collector's efficiency is varied by the quantity of solar radiation. And especially, the flat-plate system is more affected by outdoor temperature. Therefore the application of solar thermal system should be considered the solar radiation and outdoor temperature.

The storage tank of the natural-circulation-solar-hot-water system equipped with flat-plate solar collectors is located at higher elevation than the solar collectors. Therefore, the heat loss from the system due to a reversed flow during the night-time is an important factor as well as the day-time thermal performance of the system. The thermal performance of the natural-circulation-solar-hot-water system with flat-plate solar collectors during the day-time depends mainly on the heat collecting efficiency of the solar collectors, whereas its thermal performance during the night-time depends on the system configuration , such as the elevation of the water storage tank with respect to the solar collectors and the piping connections between the storage tank and the solar collectors, as well as thermo-physical properties of the circulating fluid. In the present work, a computer program has been developed to simulate a typical natural-circulation-solar-hot-water-system, and a series of simulation tests have been carried out with the computer program to examine the thermal performance of the system during the day-time as well as the hight-time. In addition , a series of experiment have been conducted under a real sun condition using a natural-circulation-solar-hot-water-system constructed and installed at the KAIST building to compare with the results obtained from computer simulations.
