Measured performances of natural-circulation solar-energy water-heaters

Applied Energy, 1984, vol. 16, issue 1, 26 pages

Abstract: The behaviours of direct thermosyphonic solar-energy water heaters have been studied experimentally for a variety of ambient conditions and vertical heights of the storage tank above the collector. For high insolation levels, single- and multiple-pass water-heaters exhibit almost similar diurnal heat gains. However, a more effective performance can be achieved with a low initial mean store temperature, particularly for [`]single-pass' units.
