Abstract

The thermal performance of two solar collectors (batch system) was experimentally tested. Experiments were carried out during seasons of 2015 and 2016 at Faculty of Agriculture, Zagazig University, Egypt. In January, inlet water temperatures for both models were around 17 oC , and outlet temperatures were 27 and 23oC for models A and B respectively, while in July, inlet water temperatures for both models were around 35 oC, and outlet temperatures were 55 and 49oC for  model A and B respectively. Obtained results show  that model (A) can rise water temperature higher than model (B) almost throughout the year. Energy collected varied between 655 and 335 W for models A and B respectively in January and 1955 and 975 W for models A and B respectively in July. However, The monthly average energy losses varied between 380 and 180 W for models A and B respectively in January and 1090 and 360 W for models A and B respectively in July. The average system efficiency varied from 43% to 50% in January for models A and B respectively while the system efficiency varied from 44% and 63% in July for models A and B respectively.
