Identification of the Optimum Flow Rate for a Patented High Building Integration Solar Collector
C. Cristofari, G. Notton, J. L. Canaletti, and C. Lamnatou
Abstract—Despite the consequent development of solar
thermal systems in many countries, there are many difficulties
which to a large extent hamper the implementation of these
products. The summary of discussions of the R & D seminar
organized by ADEME1 in Sophia Antipolis (27 – 28 April 2004)
about "the need for innovation in solar thermal", states that
solar thermal systems currently available in the market are
added to the building without real integration. The problems,
both technical and aesthetic, are the obvious obstacles to the
development of this type of systems. For these reasons, in the
frame of the present work, a new flat plate solar collector with
high building integration and a prototype of this collector were
developed. A numerical thermal model, developed in Matlab®
environment by using a finite difference model was validated.
Then, a modelling of the solar system was realized and the
performance of the proposed system was optimized for various
solar collector configurations.
