Flow Distribution in Flat Solar Collectors Systems Interconnected

Abstract: In this work the characterization of the water flow through a flat solar collector and solar collectors systems interconnected is presented. This allows analyzing the behavior of flow distribution in the headers pipe and riser tubes of flat solar collectors. The hydraulic analysis allows determining if the water flow inside the risers presents a no-uniform distribution, having that the mass flow rate through riser tubes increases when they are located a greater distance from inlet of header pipe. This effect a… Show more

“…Some authors like Weitbrecht et al [29] analyzed a collector as a pipe network system in which the loss coefficients have been taken from experimental data to adjust the developed model. Ríos Orozco et al [30] developed a model based on pipe networks which was compared with a CFD model showing a considerable difference between them which is due to the fact that the discrete model employs an integral formulation to determine the flow distribution.…”
