Large-scale solar thermal systems have gained importance on the market in the last years. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of collector arrays in large systems, a key technical component
As to problem a), the characterization of design options for large collector arrays, the first objective of our work is to generate a set of key figures: 11 characteristic key figures provide a simple and straightforward way to assess and to compare different design options for solar collector arrays. The intention is to provide a quick
It can be seen from Table 1 that only a few researches have been done on large-scale solar heat pump systems. There is no study on the collector array layout, or working medium distribution of the system. More researches and exploration are urgently needed on the characteristics of multiple collector/evaporators and the performance of the system under
We present a new methodology for defining regularly-spaced collector
solar collector technology in large solar district heating plants so far. The flat plate collector field supplies the heat to the district heating networks via a heat exchanger. Therefore the operation temperature of flat plate collectors is 3-4 K higher than the temperatures on the

At a minimum, design documentation for a large-scale PV power plant should include the datasheets of all system components, comprehensive wiring diagrams, layout drawings that include the row spacing measurements and location of the site infrastructure buildings, mounting structure drawings with structural calculations that have been certified
Solar Water Heating Systems. Soteris A. Kalogirou, in Solar Energy Engineering, 2009 Publisher Summary. This chapter discusses different solar water heating systems. A solar water heater is a combination of a solar collector array, an energy transfer system, and a storage tank.The main part of a solar water heater is the solar collector array, which absorbs solar radiation and

Our engineers have put together a list of key areas to pay attention to when laying out the collector array: Keep the fluid velocity below 5 ft/sec. This is accomplished by having no row longer than 384″ of collectors (width) with 1″ headers
This study presents a numerical model to evaluate the flow distribution in a large solar collector field, with solar collectors connected both in series and in parallel. The boundary conditions of the systems, such as flow rate, temperature, fluid type and layout of the collector field can be easily changed in the model. The model was developed
The proposed layout of the solar field that shows the collector modules is illustrated in Figure 1. The approximately four acres of ground enclosed within the seven high wind/security...
Collector designs, hydraulic layouts and plant control strategies have been optimized for large applications, making large-scale collector arrays a reliable and mature technology with a broad range of applications. Denmark, China, Germany and Austria have built systems which can serve as best practice examples for the solar thermal technology. The

In the present paper, we focus on the analysis of solar collector arrays, a key technical component in large solar thermal systems. We identify two main problems: (1) For large collector arrays
We present a new methodology for defining regularly-spaced collector layouts for the purpose of simulating annual system cost in two-axis sun-tracking collector arrays, such as those comprising solar-thermal dish collectors or two-axis tracking PV. We thoroughly consider all layout combinations of aspect ratio, offset, ground-cover
Large-scale solar thermal plants (gross collector area of more than 500 m² resp. 0.35 MWth) provide a huge potential for reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and CO2 emissions. Especially in the
