Abstract
- Concentrated solar collectors have high efficiency. Therefore, when concentrating collectors are used for water heating application, the system yields higher efficiency. From a hot climate perspective, there is a huge potential available for low-cost solar water heating systems. With the system described in this paper, the needs of hot water in the domestic sector can be fulfilled instantly. Authors used the parabolic dish collector for instant water heating. This paper describes the effect of variation of mass flow rate on performance of the parabolic dish water heater prototype. Design of the solar parabolic dish collector consists of a novel truncated cone-shaped helical coiled receiver made up of copper at focal point. This prototype was evaluated for its performance during the month of April and May 2010. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
