MODELLING OF A STAND ALONE SOLAR COLLECTOR

摘要

The work described in this paper concerns the modellingrnof a standalone air solar collector producing lowrntemperature heat. The main role of the system is to avoidrnunfreezing temperatures and to reduce humidity in a roomrnor in an unoccupied home during a long time, with onlyrnsolar radiation. In view to dispose an essential sizing toolrnfor this solar collector, we developed a mathematicalrnmodel based on energy balance equations and on therncharacteristics of each prototype. This model allowing tornsimulate the thermal behaviour of the solar collector, wasrnvalidated using experimental data collected by telemetryrnin six operating sites.
