Solar Collectors
•Solar collector is a device for collecting
solar radiation and transfer the energy to a
fluid passing in contact with it.
Non-concentration concentration
Non-concentration
[flat-plate collector]
• Heat produce at temperature below 90*C.

Problems:
1. A problem with this design is that in cold
weather, moisture may condense on the
inside of the transparent cover plate and
thus decrease the transmission of the
solar radiation.
2. A second problem is the corrosion of the
metal tube by the water.
Typical Air Collector
[solar air heater]
• Transparent cover
• Insulation
• Fluid tubes
• Absorbing surface
• Air has been used so far to a lesser extent as the heat transport
medium in solar collector.
• Zig-Zag flow path in Air collecter
