SOLAR SETS A SOLAR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION is a set of elements that produce domestic hot water by means of solar energy. As solar energy is free, it is justified to say that solar systems are practically free and inexhaustible sources of domestic hot water. They only need minimal amounts of electrical energy to power the circulation pump and the controller. 4 m2 of a solar collector 1000 kg of CO2 less in the atmosphere a better world Growing prices of fossil fuels increase the costs of acquiring domestic hot water. Therefore, installation of solar systems obviously reduces the costs of domestic hot water generation. Another important aspect of their employment consists in the fact that they contribute to a reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases. Solar power systems constitute a very pro-ecological source of hot water. The total area of 4 m2 of flat solar collectors or a vacuum tube collector consisting of 30 tubes prevents one ton of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere annually, as compared to a modern gas-fuelled central heating boiler. In Europe, depending on the place sun delivers 700-1900 kWh/m2 of a flat surface, one may assume that the radiation carries energy of about 1000 kWh/m2 annually, which corresponds to the energy contained in 100 litres of fuel oil. In Central Europe, during periods of intense sunlight (summer), a solar system may cover even up to 100% of the demand for hot domestic water. During an entire year, such system covers on average about 60% of the demand. Moreover, such solutions allow the following energy demands to be covered: - support of low-temperature central heating: up to 10%; - seasonal heating of swimming-pool water up: up to 90%.

The principle of solar system operation may be briefly described in the following manner: A solar thermal collector heats up, when solar radiation falls on its surface. Then, it transfers heat to solar heating medium. The medium is pumped to the coil pipe in the hot water cylinder, where it transfers the heat to domestic water. Then, it returns to the solar thermal collector. The entire operation of a solar system is regulated by a controller and protected by means of a number of elements included in the system package. 58 SOLAR SET CONFIGURATIONS - EXAMPLES Flat solar thermal collector FLAT SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTORS Membrane vessel Solar set controller Hot domestic water outlet Central heating boiler O 65 C O C OC B Water heater with two coils Circulation pump of the circulation system Pump group cold domestic water inlet Vacuum tube collector SOLAR VACUUM TUBE COLLECTORS Membrane vessel Solar set controller Hot domestic water outlet Central heating boiler 65OC O C OC B Water heater with two coils Circulation pump of the circulation system Pump group cold domestic water inlet 59 SOLAR SETS BASIC COMPONENTS OF SOLAR HEATING SYSTEMS A WATER HEATER WITH TWO COIL PIPES: is a vertical hot water exchanger, fitted with two coil pipes that are designed to be connected to a solar system (the lower coil pipe) and, for instance, to a coal-fuelled central heating boiler (the upper coil pipe). Hot water cylinders used in solar systems are characterized by a large water capacity, which allows large amounts of hot water to be accumulated during periods of intense insolation, to be used later on during less sunny days. PUMPING ASSEMBLY: Its principal function consists in driving the circulation of the solar heating medium. The assembly is also fitted with elements that are indispensable to ensure proper and safe operation of a solar heating system. The pumping assembly consists, among others, of the following elements: a circulation pump designed for solar heating systems, a rotameter, a safety valve, a pressure gauge, an air separator, two thermometers, connectors to a membrane expansion vessel and topping-up valves. SOLAR HEATING SYSTEM CONTROLLER: It is a digital system that regulates the entire operation of the system. Such controllers regulate the operation of the pump in the pumping assembly and does so with the help of the data collected by the temperature sensors installed, for instance, in a solar collector and in a hot water cylinder. The functions implemented in the solar heating system controllers include: reverse cooling (cooling the water down in the tank to prevent the water in the cylinder from boiling, anti-freezing protection, tank disinfection, reading of the energy generated in solar collectors SOLAR SYSTEM HEATING MEDIUM: It is a mixture of glycol and other components, whose freezing temperature is lower than the freezing point of water. The reduced freezing temperature guarantees that the solar installation does not get damaged during periods when temperatures outside drop below zero. SOLAR DIAPHRAGM VESSEL: It is a tank with an internal rubber membrane. Its function consists of compensating changes in the volume of the solar heating medium caused by its thermal expansion (not by its losses) and in maintaining the pressure of the heating medium at a constant predetermined level. MANUAL VENT WITH A SENSOR HOUSING: It is an indispensable part of the solar heating system fittings. It contains a protective tube for a solar regulator sensor, including a setting screw and a manual vent. SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTORS: These are the essential components of solar power systems. It is in the collectors, where solar radiation is transformed into thermal energy transferred through the solar heating medium. FLAT COLLECTORS: An absorber is an important part of the collector. The purpose of an absorber consists in absorbing as much solar radiation energy as possible and in transforming it into thermal energy, while maintaining heat radiation at the minimum level. Absorbers are made of copper sheets coated with a highly specific absorptive layer. A solar collector is insulated with mineral wool to prevent heat losses. The wool lines the collector housing, consisting of an aluminium frame and, in the lower part, of galvanized or other metal sheet. In the top part, a collector is fitted with a solar glass pane, made of safe and hardened glass that is characterized by its high resistance to mechanical impact (which also includes certain types of hailstorm impacts) and by the maximum transparency to solar radiation. VACUUM TUBE COLLECTORS OF HEAT-PIPE TYPE: A highly selective absorbent layer is deposited by sputtering on the internal layer of a vacuum tube. The layer guarantees the high efficiency of solar radiation absorption. The radiation energy is transformed into thermal energy and then, through a radiator, it is transferred to a copper tube. The copper tube contains an evaporating substance that transfers heat to the condenser that, in turn, transfers it to the collecting pipe of a heat exchanger, which the solar heating medium flows through. The medium is then transferred to a coil pipe in a hot water exchanger. The collecting pipe of the heat exchanger is insulated to protect it against heat losses, and it is encased in a metal housing. The glass used to manufacture the vacuum tube is characterized by its special chemical composition that guarantees a high resistance to mechanical impact, as well as the maximum transparency to solar radiation. PROPERLY MOUNTED SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTORS should be inclined at an angle within the range from 30 to 45 O and they should face southward. FLAT OR VACUUM TUBE COLLECTOR ? The FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE between a flat collector and a vacuum tube collector consists in their construction and application. A flat collector is characterized by its large absorbent surface area, a short distance covered by the Sun’s rays before they get to the absorber and by direct contact of the absorber with the medium flowing through the collector. Such a collector performs well in good weather conditions. On the other hand, a vacuum tube collector takes advantage of the vacuum (thermal insulator) in its construction. It makes up in efficiency during the autumn and winter period, when the energy demand increases. When selecting a collector type, one should answer the following questions: when is the solar system to be used and for what purpose. Comparison of the calorific effect of a flat collector and a vacuum tube collector during a period of an entire year Vacuum tube collector Flat collector I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII 60 SOLAR SETS An analysis of the diagram indicates that the vacuum tube collector operates faster and longer and "overlaps" with the heating period, while the operation of the flat thermal collector corresponds to the period outside the heating season. Thus, solar vacuum tube collectors support a central heating system. - The process consists the n preliminary heating up of water in the domestic hot water tank by means of the lower coil pipe that is connected to the collector, so that the upper coil pipe connected to the central heating system consumes less heat energy to heat water up. Another difference is the resistance to hailstorms. Flat thermal collectors have a thicker glass layer, which makes them more resistant to hail impact. Due to their construction, no reverse cooling (holiday absence function) can be implemented in vacuum tube collectors with the heat pipe technology. Vacuum tube collectors are very well suited to operating at low temperatures and at low radiation intensities. Practical experience shows that they may be up to 30% more efficient during the winter season than flat collectors. On the other hand, flat collectors are characterized by high optical efficiency, which translates into higher output during the summer period. Due to these differences, flat collectors are generally only about 10% less efficient than vacuum tube collectors, when the entire year is considered. RECAPITULATION - flat collectors are recommended for any type of seasonal installations meant to operate in the summer period. They are a perfect choice for installations that heat up the water in swimming pools, as well as for installations that heat hot water in single family houses, camping sites or summer refuges. - vacuum tube collectors are practically irreplaceable in installations designed to support central heating systems or in domestic hot water installations, when solar fraction is assumed to be high.. ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES AND PURPOSE Flat solar thermal collectors Advantages Disadvantages Purpose Solar vacuum tube collectors - high optical efficiency, - good resistance to hailstorms, - possibility of reverse cooling, - very good heat insulation, - low flow resistance values, - easily serviceable, - high flow resistance values, - fast efficiency decrease at low temperatures - possible misting of collector glass pane, - low optical efficiency, - lower resistance to hailstorms, - no possibility of reverse cooling, - heating swimming pool water in the summer, - seasonal installations operating in the summer, - support of domestic hot water system, when the solar fraction is low in winter, - support of central heating systems, - support of domestic hot water system, when the solar fraction is high all year round SOLAR SYSTEM DURING HOLIDAY ABSENCE – NO HOT DOMESTIC WATER IS DRAWN OFF As it is impossible to "switch the Sun off", a solar system keeps operating during our holiday absences as well. During this period, no hot water is drawn off. Therefore, the solar installation may get overheated, which increases the pressure (solar heating medium is let out through the safety valve). This, in turn, may lead to permanent damage of the collectors and the entire installation. There are several solutions aimed at preventing solar systems from getting overheated: -collectors may be covered, for instance, with canvas or blinds, to prevent solar rays from accessing system collectors, -the Holiday Absence function (reverse cooling) may be activated at the controller [option available only for flat collectors], so that it switches the pump in the night to allow the heat accumulated in the hot domestic water cylinder can be radiated through collectors, which cools the cylinder down, -cooling the system down through the swimming pool: as a swimming pool has large water capacity and large surface area, it is a practically inexhaustible heat accumulator and therefore it can accept heat surplus accumulated in the hot domestic water cylinder. -cooling the system down through the central heating system: when the circulation pump of the central heating system is switched on and the valves get opened, hot water collected in the hot domestic water cylinder will get cooled down through the top coil pipe that gives heat up to the radiators installed in the house. SELECTION OF A SOLAR SYSTEM CONFIGURATION As solar systems are primarily used to heat up hot domestic water, their configuration is selected according to the number of users, on the basis of the - table presented below that assumes the average daily consumption of hot domestic water at the level of 50-75 litres per user.
