| Abstract: | The triangular design of a solar water heater not only enhances the overall gain to the system
but also improves the natural convection between the absorbing plate and the water, leading to better performance of the system. A night insulation cover is used at the top surface of the heater to reduce the losses from the system during the off-sunshine hours. Another way to reduce the losses from the system is by using an insulating baffle plate in the tank. This plate divides the tank water into two portions, the
water above this plate is known as the upper column and below is known as the lower column. The water of the two columns is in contact with each other with the help of the incoming and outgoing vents provided in the baffle plate. This plate also suppresses losses from the lower column during the off-sunshine hours. In this paper, we have studied the effect of a baffle plate on the performance of a triangular built-in-storage solar water heater. To obtain the thermal behavior of... |
