Thermal behaviour of a coffered solar pond: An experimental study

Applied Energy, 1986, vol. 25, issue 3, 205-241

Abstract: The construction of conventional solar ponds usually involves highly expensive excavations. So the widespread adoption of this type of solar-energy collector and store has been severely inhibited. Thus the use of the coffered solar pond was proposed. For a laboratory-sized coffered solar pond, experimental thermal behaviour data have been obtained and compared with computer predictions. Hence the mathematical model employed has been validated.
