Abstract

The present study analyzes and compares the thermal performance of two types of water-hearing solar collectors. The first type is a conventional flat-plate collector, and the second is a solar collector having an are shape The (two collectors were fabricated having the same surface area, size and quality. For ease of fabrication, the are collector was made of three flat panels of equal area joined together at their sides making an angle of 1509 14 h the one at the middle. The are collector was made and studied in an endeavor to attempt to capture sunlight in the morning and afternoon hours normal to the collector's surface. Tests were made and the comparison of the results indicated that the overall performance of the conventional collector is better than that of the arc collector However, an improvement in the performance of the arc collector over that of the conventional one witnessed by up to 7 per cent increase in the instantaneous efficiency was attained during the late afternoon period.
