Thermal Performance of an Experimental Solar Pond Operating in Winter of Tibet

Abstract:

An experimental SGSP was constructed in Tibet and its thermal performance in winter was investigated in this paper. The LCZ temperature observed was no less than 20 oC in winter subfreezing time. The impact of ice layer upon SGSP was analysed briefly as well, it was found that the ice layer showed different impacts on the performance of SGSP depended on its thickness and transparency condition. Several promising measures for the improvement of SGSP operating in winter were also proposed.
