Performance evaluation of solar water heater
Aim: To assess the performance of solar water heater.
2. Solar water heaters
Solar water heating system (SWHS) is a device which
supplies hot water at 60°C to 80°C using only solar thermal
energy without any other fuel.
In the case of smaller systems (100 – 2000 litres per day),
the hot water reaches the user end by natural (thermo –
siphon) circulation for which the storage tank is located
above the collectors.
In higher capacity systems, a pump is used for forced
circulation of water.
3. Solar water heaters
The two types water heating system are flat plate solar
water heaters and evacuated tube solar water heaters
i) Flat plate solar water heaters
A flat plate solar water heating system is used for
domestic & industrial applications for heating water upto
60 to 70 °C.
A flat plate collector is simple in design and consists of
flat collector or absorber, glass cover, insulation, pipes
and storage tanks.
5. Solar water heaters
ii) Evacuated tube solar water heaters
Evacuated Tube Collector is made of double layer
borosilicate glass tubes evacuated for providing insulation.
The outer wall of the inner tube is coated with selective
absorbing material. This helps absorption of solar radiation
and transfers the heat to the water which flows through
the inner tube.
Due to vacuum in the evacuated tube collector, there is no
medium which take the heat away from the absorber plate.
6. c) Solar water heaters
ii) Evacuated tube solar water heaters
Therefore, there are less heat losses. Thus, in evacuated
tube collectors, the water temperature close to 100°C can
be obtained.
7. Performance evaluation of solar water heater
Theory:
Solar water heater converts solar energy into thermal
energy and produces hot water.
The performance such as hot water generation,
temperature of hot water, efficiency of hot water system
etc. can be assessed.
Instruments required:
Pyranometer and Thermometer
8. Performance evaluation of solar water heater

1. Measure the collector area and note down the capacity of
the solar water heater.
2. Fill the cold water tank up to the solar water heater
capacity.
3. Record the ambient temperature, solar radiation and
initial temperature of water.
4. Check the hot water outlet for the water temperature (Th)

Economics of solar water heater
It is considered that the economics of solar water heater
is compared with electrical heaters.
The cost required for solar hot water system and
electrical systems are calculated and the pay-back period
is calculated.
Cost of solar water heater = Investment, Rs.
Daily thermal energy requirement (QE) kWh
= QU / (0.95 x 3600)
Where QU is the daily heat energy required to heat water
12. Economics of solar water heater
(Considering the efficiency of the electrical water
heating system as 0.95)
Cost of electricity per day, PE, Rs. = QE × Unit Price
Assuming 300 days of annual utilization of SWH system,
Annual saving, Rs. = PE x 300
