Solar Collectors
•Solar collector is a device for collecting solar radiation and transfer the energy to a fluid passing in contact with it.
•The solar collectors, with its associated absorber, is the essential component of any system for the conversion of solar radiation energy into usable form. E.g. heat and electricity .

• The fundamental process now in general use for HEAT conversion is the Green House Effect

Solar Collectors
Non-concentration concentration
![Page 5: Solar collector vipin](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/587d6a221a28ab32318b675b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Non-concentration [flat-plate collector]
• Heat produce at temperature below 90*C.
• Flat plate can be collect and absorb both DIRECT and DIFFUSE solar radiation.
• They are effected by cloud and other particles which are present in the atmosphere

Flat-plate collectors
Liquid collector Air collector

Liquid collector
• Liquid heating collectors are used for heating water and non-freezing aqueous solution and occasionally for non-aqueous heat transfer fluids
![Page 8: Solar collector vipin](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/587d6a221a28ab32318b675b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Transparent cover (glazing)• Cushion support• Absorber (selective surface)• Insulation• Tubes/water pipe
![Page 9: Solar collector vipin](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/587d6a221a28ab32318b675b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Typically a metal plate, usually of copper, steel or aluminium material with tubing of copper in thermal contact with the plates, are most commonly used material.
• The absorber plate is usually made from metal sheet 1 to2mm in thickness.
• Tubes which are also made from metals.

Tubes :
• Diameter :- 1.0 to 1.5• They are soldered or clamped or bind to
bottom of absorber plate from 5 to 15cm.• In some other type of design of liquid
collector we can found, the arrangement of tubes are attached to the absorber plate.
• Various type of arrangement are found
![Page 11: Solar collector vipin](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061516/587d6a221a28ab32318b675b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• The glass cover act as a convection shield to reduce the losses from the absorber plate beneath.
• Glass generally use for transparency.

• Reflection may be reduced by coating with thin films of certain substances. e.g. magnesium fluoride
• We can use coating for increase HEAT resistance.
HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM:-The heat generated in the absorber is removed by
continuous flow of a heat-transport medium, either water or air.

Problems:
1. A problem with this design is that in cold weather, moisture may condense on the inside of the transparent cover plate and thus decrease the transmission of the solar radiation.
2. A second problem is the corrosion of the metal tube by the water.

Typical Air Collector[solar air heater]
• Transparent cover• Insulation • Fluid tubes• Absorbing surface• Air has been used so far to a lesser extent as the heat transport
medium in solar collector.• Zig-Zag flow path in Air collecter

Adwantage
1. They have the advantage of using both beam and diffuse solar radiation.
2. They do not require orientation toward the sun.
3. They required little maintenance.4. They are mechanically simpler than the
concentration reflector, absorbing surfaces and orientation devices of focusing collectors.

Concentrating collectors[focusing type]
• Focusing collector is a device to collect solar energy with intensity of solar radiation on the energy absorbing surface.

• The dimension of parabolic cylindrical collector can be very over a wide range the length of a reflecting unit may be roughly 3-5m and the width about 1.5-2.4m,ten or more. Such unit are often connected end to end in a row , such rows are connected in parallel.
• Sun must in a particular direction.• Generally oriented in the east –west or north-
south directions.• East-west:-the collectors are laid flat on the
ground.• North-south:-the can rays north to south
arranged like flat-plate collectors they are less efficient.

greater than east-west collector.• Diagram:

• Only beam radiation collected.• If sun direction is not correct then only
some mirrors are used others are not in use.
• Additional optical losses such as reflectance loss.
• High initial cost.
