Design of solar heated water system based on TLD system in Baotou Wei Xu 1, a, Xiao Zhang 1, b, Zhichang Tian 1, c 1 Architecture and Civil Engineering School, Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology, Baotou, Inner Mongolia, 014010, China abtxuwei2006@126.com, bzhangxiaoky@163.com, ctian-zhch@qq.com Keywords: Solar energy, TLD (tuned liquid damper), Area of collector.
Excessive use of steel causes the high cost, which will be not conducive to promote TLD in practical engineering.
(1) When the collector faces the south, γ = 0 equation (1) becomes (2) In that, (3) αs=40°63′, D=0.5m The area of solar collector According to Solar heated water systems-Design installation, engineering acceptance ( GB /T18713 - 2002) and the area of solar collector can be calculated as follows: (4) Solar fraction f= solar collector system got the heat in quantity hourly / solar collector system got the heat in quantity hourly=（17.31×103×300）/(36×4.18×46)=0.75.
