Abstract

Availability of solar energy as a renewable energy source is very abundant and inexhaustible. Solar water heater is an equipment that utilizes solar energy as a source of energy. The thermal performance of a solar water heater system using absorber plate with phase change material (PCM) as thermal energy storage is presented in this study. Two design of solar water heater collectors with absorber plate variations, i.e. an absorber plate with PCM storage and absorber plate without PCM storage were investigated experimentally and numerically simulation. First, the material properties of paraffin wax as PCM storage was analized analyticaly. Every shape model of solar water heater systems were imported and simulated at three variations of constant solar radiation, i.e. 400 W/m2, 700 W/m2, and 1000 W/m2. The simulation using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) fluent software. The results showed that the average collector efficiency between absorber plate with and without PCM storage is 70.98 % using experimental study and 67.73 % using numerical simulation study.

Abstract

Solar water heater technology is increasingly in demand by the wider community, this has led to an increasing number of research related to solar water heaters. The working efficiency of a thermosyphon solar water heater with the integration of heat storage materials is presented in this study. Heat absorbing collectors with varying thicknesses of paraffin wax PCM as the heat storage material are modeled and then the performance calculated theoritically. The variations thickness of the heat storage material are 6 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm, respectively. The theoritically calculation conducted based on experimental data collection with varying constant solar radiation. The results of this study show that the working efficiency of the heat absorbing collector with a PCM thickness of 15 mm is greater when compared to thicknesses of 10 mm and 6 mm or collectors without heat storage material with an average efficiency of 67.49%.
