The Project

Motivation

  • Stagnation of the thermal collectors market for since 2008
  • Necessary to reduce system cost
  • Metallic absorber (copper, copper / aluminum, continuous casting)

have largest costs in materials and manufacturing technology Objectives

  • Collector redevelopment of insulating glass in the absorber and the

frame area

  • Target height < 50mm
  • Reduced material and production costs
  • Simpler manufacturing and assembly
  • Same performance as standard flat-plate collector

Ideal Gas Real Gas Van der Waals

  • expression of density as a function of temperature and pressure
  • specific gas constant
  • at high pressure and high temperature gas behavior deviates

from ideal gas

  • ideal gas equation is specified:

p is replaced by (p+a/v²) v is replaced by (v-b)

  • a is a measure of attractive forces
  • b is the co-volume of particles
  • R=RU/ M

a ,b= f (RU ,T C , pC)
