In this research paper, an attempt has been made to come across the effect of distance between double glazing on the efficiency of a solar thermal collector. Experiments were carried out on an active solar energy demonstration system (ET 200). Commercial glass pane of 3 mm thick having the same dimensions as that of the apparatus was placed above the collector at a distance of 2 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm. Tests were done with and without the added glass. Experiments were performed for double glazing with two positions of the light meter. In one position, it was placed in the middle of the collector surface. While, in the other, the light meter was placed in the middle of the added glass. To study the effect of double glazing on the performance of the solar collector ET200, the correct position of the light meter was to place it exactly in the middle of the additional pane under the lamp. Double glazing doesn't enhance the performance of the solar collector because of the high resistance of the system glass air glass. The efficiency of double glazing solar collector decreases with increasing the distance separating the two glasses.

This research document presents an experimental study on the effect of the superposition of glass panes on the functioning of a solar thermal collector. Experiments were carried out on an active solar energy demonstration system (ET 200). It consists of a flat plate solar collector, water storage tank, a control and command cabinet and a highpower lamp, simulating natural sunlight. Three (03) commercial glass panes of 3mm, 5mm and 8mm thick were used. In the first experiment the collector glass was replaced by the superposition of the two panes of 3 and 5mm thick. In the second experiment the collector glass was replaced by the thickest glass (8mm). The glass of 8mm thick leaves more energy, generated from the halogen lamp, to penetrate inside the collector than the composed glass (3mm+5mm), which leaves less energy reaching the absorber. The glass pane of 8mm thick has an efficiency of about 44% against 40% for the composed glass (3mm+5mm). The glass composed from the superposition of the panes of 3mm and 5mm thick exerts a distinct effect, on the solar collector, than the simple glass of 8mm thick. So, it is not possible to replace the single pane of 8mm thick by the superposition of the two panes of 3 and 5mm thick. 
