Performance Analyses of a Combined Auxiliary Measures SGSP - Experiment Means

Abstract:

In this work, several methods are experimentally investigated with the aim of enhancing the thermal characters of solar pond. Which included putting porous medium to the bottom of the solar pond, combining a solar collector and building evaporation basin respectively .Two mini cylindrical solar ponds are built and the thermal performance of the solar pond is investigated by comparing the temperature distribution of the two solar ponds. The experimental results show that the utilization of the porous medium in the bottom layer might enhance the heat storage ability of the lower convective zone (LCZ); The introduction of the solar collector might advance the temperature of the LCZ greatly, which lessens the heat loss of the whole system. These methods play important roles in enhancing the thermal characters of the solar pond, which brings forward a new way for the improving of solar pond.
