Serpentine Flat Plate Collector Thermal Performance Testing

Abstract:

Due to the conventional flat plate solar collector has low efficient, it is necessary to make some improvements in the structure of conventional flat solar collector. This research improved the structure of conventional flat solar collector and conducted thermal performance testing for the improved structure which is serpentine heat pipe flat plate solar collector. The test results indicate that serpentine heat pipe flat plate solar collector has higher efficient than conventional solar collector. Thus, serpentine has better economic and environmental benefit than conventional solar collector.
