Heat losses insulation
Two Evaculated Tube Collector
Diameter of pipe = 0.8mm
Tube length =195mm
Evacuated tube collectors are flat devises which consist of cylindrical absorbing surfaces or tubes with internal fins installed in an evacuated tube to reduce the convection losses. From: Thermal Solar Desalination, Insulating material
Active solar water heating
The main components on an active solar water heating system are
Solar collector to capture the suns energy and to transfer is to the coolant medium
A circulation system that moves the fluid between the solar collector and the storage tank
Storage tank
Back up heating system
Control system to regulate the system operatio
