Design Of Thermosyphon Solar Water Heating System At Banmaw In Myanmar
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract
This paper focus on calculating the design of thermosyphon solar water heating system. One of the promising options is to make more expensive use of the renewable energy from the sun. The solar energy is transmitted from the sun through space to the earth by electromagnetic radiation. It can be used both directly and indirectly. Myanmar is situated between north latitude 10 and 29, therefore the solar energy is available through the years. In this paper, Design of Solar Water Heating System has been chosen and designed to use for water heating in domestic. General theory of solar radiation and characteristic of passive solar water heating system are studied in this thesis. The main components of the systems are collector, water tank, and back insulator. The design location is in Banmaw (Latitude 24 15? N, East longitude is 97 36? E) and the elevation above the sea level is 115 m (379 ft). In this thesis, heat load calculation for the designed hot water capacity 40 liters/day and the collector area is 0.64 m2. The outlet temperature for eight from the collector is and the efficiency of the collector is 77% at 1:00 PM. In this paper, calculations are done by using the details of Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (Banmaw).
