Abstract - The potential of solar thermal energy in
industrial applications in Egypt is huge, even if it is not taking
the same importance like photovoltaic modules and wind
energy. The industrial section can benefit greatly from theuse
of solar thermal systems, especially, when it comes to low
temperature applications. So, in order to encourage the
adaption of solar thermal energy in industrial application, a
system was designed using the program “TRNSYS16”, inorder
to estimate the true potential of solarthermalenergy inEgypt,
in particular, low temperature applications. A study was
conducted for six different locations usingthedesignedsystem
by TRNSYS for the same flow rate demands for a low pressure
boiler, covering most of Egypt from north to south. Thesystem
was simulated in each location, and the energy output of each
location is presented. The results showed a huge gain in
energy savings, and also, in the amounts of natural gas saved
per year. The benefits of each location were also calculated
according to the amounts of natural gas saved, as well as, the
capital cost of the system in each location. The results reflect
the importance of solar energy in industrial process heating.

1.INTRODUCTION
At the end of 2016, the installed solar thermal capacity
worldwide was about 176.8 GWth” Giga watt thermal” (221
million m2). Compared with 170 GWth for wind,69GWth for
geothermal and 9.5 GWth for photovoltaic (solar electric)
[1], solar thermal has undoubtedly held a leading position
among the renewable energy sources. Most of the current
solar thermal plants today provide hot water to households,
for both sanitary purposes and space heating. Although the
residential sector has a tremendous potential for solar
thermal energy applications, the industrial sector has
amazing potential too. Electric energy and transportation
energy have been in the forefront of public discussions of
energy [2]. On the other hand, heat is accounted for 37% of
energy consumption in mostly developed countries and in
overall world consumption of energy around 47% [6].
Unfortunately, most of the policy makers and investors
around the world think that solar energy is only associated
with electricity-producing photovoltaic (PV)panels.And the
investors that realize the existence of solar thermal heating
associates it mostly with heating outdoor swimming pools
and residential water in the United States [3]. Around 90
operating solar thermal plants around the world are
constructed to provide process heating for various
industries. The total capacity of these plants is about 25
MWth “Mega Watt thermal” or approximately 35,000 m2 in
area [7]. Comparing this 25 MWth capacity of the total
installed capacity of solar thermal energy of 118 GWth, this
leaves us with a very small fraction of (0.02%). Thiscapacity
shows how much is the wasted potential of solar thermal
energy in industrial applications.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 shows the differentinstalledcapacities
and number of operating plants that use solar thermal
energy based on different industries and distribution by
country.

The second issue that needed to be discussed is the most
suitable industrial sectors for the use of solar thermal
systems, so that it could be maximized by the use of solar
thermal heat. In these sectors, heat is constantly required
throughout the year and these sectors have the kind of
temperature levels that work very well with the existing
efficiencies of solar thermal systems. These sectors include:
Food, including wine and beverage,Textile,Plastic andmetal
treatment Some of the chemical industries, and Plastic
treatment. Industrial heating can be divided into three main
ranges. Most of them can be achieved by using solar thermal
systems. The lowest range is any industry that uses heating
applications at or below 80oC. A flat plate solar collector can
reach this kind of temperature range and it’s widely and
commercially available. The second range is any heating
application between 80oC to 250oC. And this type of
application can be achieved by using evacuated tube solar
collectors. The final Temperature range is any heating
application above 250oC [8].
This range of temperatures needs a CSP” ConcentratedSolar
Power” system in order to achieve these kinds of
temperatures. About30%of thetotal industrial heatdemand
temperature range is in the first range at temperatures
below 100oC and almost 57% in the range below 400oC [9].
The solar thermal industry is growing at a steadyrateforthe
past decade. The global solar thermal market grew by 17%
in 2007 and the growth continued until it reached 42% in
2008[4] because the residential heatingsectionspikedat45-
50%. By the end of 2009, Both the United States and Canada
accounted for 8.7% of the installed capacity worldwide [2].
China led the global market with 58.9% of installedcapacity,
followed by Europe at 18.9% [5]. 38 Firms have started
using solar thermal systems for industrial process heating
with projects that can be considered as large scale in Europe
and China.
And as for the Egyptian level, that makes it even more
appealing as the temperature ranges for industrial heat
processes in Egypt mostly falls below the 250oC [9]
combined with the good irradiation levels throughout the
year. In 2011, Egypt has witnessed the first achievement of
utilization of renewable energy resource, which was the
completion of the first 140 MW solar thermal plants in
Kuraymat, and connecting it with the national gridattheend
of June of 2011[9]. This project was a collaboration of multi-
international support and the Egyptian government. The
Egyptian government planes to supply 20%ofthe electricity
generation in the country by forms of renewable energy by
2022 and reached to 42% by the year of 2035 according to
the announcement of Egyptian new & renewable energy
authority “NREA”. Egypt could supply more than half of its
electricity demand by using renewable energy sources [9].
This paper discusses with detail, the potential of this type of
energy by designing and optimizing a solar thermal system
using the program “Trnsys 16” to simulate a solar thermal
plant in different locations around Egypt to determine the
range of useful energies per year in all those different
locations. Due to the removal ofsubsidies bythegovernment
on fossil fuels, the cost of fuel will be higher than ever before
in Egypt, on the other hand, the price of the locally
manufactured solar thermal equipment becamecompetitive
to the fossil fuel equipment which consequently maximizes
the benefits of a solar thermal system under these new
conditions in Egypt. These expected impacts are not only on
the Egyptian level, but for other countries with similar
irradiation conditions that will adopt the usage of solar
thermal systems. The expected impacts for this technology
are:
 Contribution to Egypt’s targets for renewables.
 Job creation.
 Fuel saving and cost reduction.
 Contributing to global warming reduction and carbon
levels.
 Better future for our environment
2-THE DESIGNED SYSTEM AND SIMULATION
The system consists of two loops, the first one (solar loop)
consisting of the storage tank and evacuated tube solar
collectors and a pump with a controller. The second one
(load loop) consists of the pump and auxiliary heating unit
before the boiler, and boiler or required load. The two loops
are connected via heat exchangers, the oil is heated fromthe
solar collectors, stored in the storage tanks and used to heat
the water used for the desired load.
The system consists of:
 Single speed and variable speed pumps.
 Evacuated tube solar collectors (without storage tank
connected to it).
 Stratified storage tanks (no auxiliary heating is used
inside the tank).

 Temperature differential controllers.
 Weather simulation files for EPW” Energy plus
weather”.
 Heat exchangers and waste heat recovery.
 Auxiliary heater.
 Flow diverters and flow mixers and tee-pieces.
The closed loop system for the collector-tank consistsoffour
collector arrays. These collector arrays have the same exact
design. This loop is split to four collector arrays for safety
measures, and also, to prevent the system from completely
shutting down if something happened to one of the
collectors or piping. As the collectors might be connected in
series, and if so, if one collector is damaged, it can stop the
flow rate of the other connected collectors. Every collector
array consists of a pump, storage tank, and a controller, and
the evacuated tube collectors. The user can change the
number of collectors used or even the type of collector if the
demand is in a lower temperature ranges. The user can also
control the collector arrayconfigurationforseriesorparallel
based on the required design and flow rate. The tank size is
based on the required amount of oil to be stored and can be
adjusted also based on application and operating hours. It’s
possible also to use the auxiliary heater built in the
stratification tank but, it is disabled in the current design
because an auxiliary heating unit is used after the heat
exchangers output. The collector’s position can be adjusted
by changing the tilt angle of the collector based on the
latitude angle of the location. It is considered that the tilt
angle of the collector is equal to the latitude angle of the
location [10]. As shown in Fig. 3, the flow coming from the
heat exchanger (cold output) enters a diverter, but, this
diverter is connected to the controller. The diverter is used
to divert the flow from the collector-tank loop in case the
controller detects that the collectorandtank areoverheating
above the max required design temperatures. And in this
case, the flow is diverted to the tee-piece to cool the liquid
coming from the tank and the collector before it enters the
heat exchangers or mixers. And also for more safety
measurements an expansion vessel is also used.
Fig. 3 Collector array configuration
The collector is also connected to the pump and tank and
collector array. When the temperature of the oil leaving the
collector is lower than the temperature set in the controller,
the controller automatically shuts down the pump and the
flow is only taken from the stored oil in the tank. Thisisused
to preserve the heat in the tank as long as possibletobeused
in the heat exchangers. The stratified tank is separated into
two levels. The first level in the bottom stores the cold oil,
the second level stores the hot oil. This loop is repeated four
times and it’s the exact same design for each collector array.
This design is great for energy saving and also for safety
measures. The flow from the four collector arrays are mixed
together and separated into two heat exchangers. The heat
exchanger design is determined bythe enteringtemperature
of the oil coming from the collector array and required
temperature for the load and the overall heat transfer
coefficient and the number of shell passes. The heat
exchanger is designed based on these parameters and these
parameters can determine the required length and number
of tubes and type of heat exchanger to be used. The outputs
of the heat exchangers are mixed together. A controller is
connected to the mixing point. This controller determines if
the flow should move to the auxiliary heater or the waste
heat recovery if the output temperature of the heat
exchangers is less ormorethantherequiredtemperaturesof
the load. The waste heat recovery outputcanbeseparatedto
two streams. A stream going to the actual load required, and
a stream to any hot water application needed. As the extra
heat can be useful and should not be wasted, the second
stream can be used to heat the entering water before going
to the heat exchangers in the first place.
Figure 4 shows the design of the heat exchanger and
auxiliary and WHR” Waste Heat Recovery” and load loop in
more detail. And also as a controller is connected to the two
heat exchangers to divert the flow completely for anyone of
them in case there’s a failure or malfunction in one of them
and it needs to be shut down. This is done to prevent the
system from being completely shut down in case one of the
heat exchangers fails. The weather fileisalsoinvolved which
is connected to the solar collector array and also as an
environmental temperature for the storage tanks. Each
equipment has three things:
 A parameter for certain conditions that need to be
fixed like specific heat for a liquid used in the
equipment, for example.
 Input to the equipment that is coming from the
previous equipment like mass flow rate or inlet
temperature.
 Output of the equipment that is connected to other
equipment

Fig. 4 The heat exchanger and load loop
After all these connections and mathematical models, the
final configuration of the system design is shown in Fig. 5.
The system is simulating the temperature output of the
system all over the year Specifically, 8760hours.Thesystem
output can present also any type of energy output from any
equipment, as long as the connection is appliedtotheoutput
printer. Which in turn, prints the results to an excel file
where it can be utilized for data processing to be presented
either in Figures, tables and charts. Asmentionedbefore,the
simulation is done in 6 different locations around Egypt. In
this case the results of the output temperature of the solar
system are presented against the time per hour in a year.
The parameters that are fixed are: The area of the solar
collectors at 4284 m2, the flow rate of oil and water used in
heat exchangers and collectors is 7295kg/hand12690kg/h
respectively.
These numbers are chosen based on a reference low
pressure boiler system for a company named Savola Egypt,
the oil flows through the four collector arrays and then
stored in a stratified tank and the controller determines the
amount of oil stored in the tank and when the oil stops from
flowing to the collector array, the entered weather file is
simulated across the year on the collector arrays, the hot oil
enters the two heat exchangers and cold water is heated at
the designed flow rates. If the temperatures acquired by the
heat exchanger is exactly what is needed for the load, the
auxiliary heater will not work, if the temperature is higher
than needed, the flow of water will go through a waste heat
recovery unit to extract the extra heat that is given by the
solar system, if the temperatures are lowered than required
the auxiliary will be used and lossesarealsocalculatedinthe
auxiliary in this case. Then the water flow enters the
required load and the results are printed to the output file in
the form of an excel file for all year long. All the modeling
equations used for each equipment of the system are
obtained at [11].
The study is based on the dataobtainedfromthecompany as
shown in Table. 1. And these data are used as a reference
point for the simulation of the 6 locations in Egypt, as these
data represent an actual low pressure boiler system that is
currently used in the company Savola.

3-RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Results for various locations based on
temperatures
The results show a huge difference in the consistency of the
temperatures obtained by system in the various locations.
Figures [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], and [11], show the consistency
of the temperatures is different from location to location,
this is mainly because of the difference in wind speeds and
humidity levels in each location and also the amounts of
radiation per year on each location. Aswan being the lowest
in humidity and El Arish and Mersa Matruh being the
highest. Also, the amount of shading is different between
each location, which can vary the results. This difference in
temperature levels affect the amounts of energy saved and
energy needed for the auxiliary. The system can reach
temperatures up to 1750C in summer times of Suez, Giza,
Aswan and El Gharbia, this can serve a great amount of
industrial thermal applications and can save lots of energy,
especially, in the summer times where radiation is at its
peak.

3.2 Energy saved and energy needed for
auxiliary heater based on area for different
locations
Figure 12 shows the results of the saved energy per area of
the collectors for different locations in Egypt and Fig.13
shows the results of the needed energy for the auxiliary
heater per area of the collector for different locations in
Egypt. The auxiliary energy is calculated directly from the
output of the auxiliary heating from the system’s simulation
output file.

The energy output per year is in GJ” Giga joule”, this curve
shows the huge potential of solar thermal energy eveninthe
locations with the lowest radiation in Egypt, the amount of
energy obtained by the system is impressive. The lowest
amount of energy saved by a system is at El Arish for a
collector area of 800 m2 at 5330 GJ and the highest energy
saved by the system is in Aswan for a collector area of 5000
m2 at 20000 GJ. The amount of energy in Suez and El
Gharbia are similar. These results will reflect in theamounts
of Natural gas that will be saved for each location based on
the calorific value of the natural gas.
Fig. 13 Energy needed for auxiliary per area of
collector for different locations.
3.3 Results for benefits for different locations
based on area
In the current study, the benefits were determined for
natural gas saved based on a calorific value of a boiler of
efficiency of 70% [12]. The Egyptian government is
removing the subsides on natural gas and petroleum
products slowlyovertime[13].Which consequentlyprovides
considerable advantages of a solar thermal system to be
competitive. The price of natural gasisestimatedat$0.31 for
meter cube of natural gas [13] based on current conversion
rates of EGP to $ in 2019. The prices of natural gas in Egypt
differ based on the type of industry and the consumption of
natural gas. The calorific value of natural gas at 70%
efficiency is 30100 KJ/m3 of natural gas. The benefits were
determined of each location by dividing the total energy
saved over the calorific value of natural gas to calculate the
amount of natural gas saved. Figure 14 shows the difference
between the benefits based on each location. Mersa Matruh
has the lowest value of money saved at $54893 /year and
Aswan being the highest value at $205980 / year.
Fig. 14 The benefits of each location based on solar
collector area
3.4 Results for capital cost based on location
The capital cost of each location was determined by the
capital cost of the case study in Savola company as reference
case in the system design. As the flow rates in Savola Egypt
are used in the general study and the same design of the
system is used, the cost per unit area of the system can be
calculated by dividing the capital cost of the project / area of
solar collectors used, to determine an approximation of the
cost per m2 for the solar system in each location. Figure 15
shows the difference in capital cost between El Arish or
Mersa Matruh and Aswan is huge.El ArishandMersa Matruh
at $1079010 and for Aswan only at $383648. All these
capital costs are calculated based on the areas of solar
collectors for each locationat13000GJ/yearofuseful energy
output by the system.

locations

3.5 Results for cost of auxiliary for different
locations based on area
Figure 16 shows the cost of the auxiliary declines with the
increase in solar collector area due to the decline in the
amounts of energy needed for the auxiliary heater. Mersa
Matruh being the highest cost if auxiliary for 800 m2 at
$81877/year, and Aswan being the lowest at only
$16375/year. The cost of the auxiliary system is calculated
in the same way as the benefits, by losing the calorific value
of natural gas of a boiler at 70% efficiency. The auxiliary
energy calculated before is converted into natural gas
consumption for each location.
Fig. 16 The cost of auxiliary based on area for different
locations
3.6 natural gas saved for different locations
based on area
Figure 17 shows the natural gas amount for each location
based on area is shown, and the calculations are done based
on the calorific value of natural gas at 70% efficiency. The
amount of natural gas is determined from the energy saved
per year. The results show the same theme observed by the
previous results, Aswan being the highest in amounts of
natural gas saved at a tremendous value of 664000 m3/year
of natural gas saved, while Mersa Matruh and El Arish being
the lowest at 178000 m3/year, these numbers show how a
solar system can affect the consumption of natural gas if it’s
connected to a low temperature thermal load.
Fig. 17 The amounts of natural gas saved based on area of
collectors for different locations.
3.7 Amount of natural gas needed for auxiliary
for different locations based on area
As indicated by the results of the energy saved per year for
each location, the energy for auxiliary can differ greatly
based on the consistency of the system.Figure18showsthat
Mersa Matruh has the highest amount of natural gas needed
at 259000 m3/year for 800 m2 solar collector area and
Aswan is the lowest at 52800 m3/year for 5000 m2 solar
collector area.

auxiliary in each location

4-Conclusion
In conclusion, the potential forsolarthermal projectinEgypt
for low temperature industrial applications is tremendous,
and due to the increase in energy prices in the last few years
due to the government removing the financial aid on
conventional fuel, made the potential of solar thermal even
higher than ever before. The designed system model by
Trnsys helped us determine the potential of the solar
thermal energy by simulating theweatherconditionsineach
of the 6 locations in which the study was conducted. It
showed the great potential of solar thermal energyineach of
these locations. It also showed how much we can save on
fossil fuels like natural gas if we opted to use solar thermal
energy instead of conventional systems.Thedesignedmodel
was also used for the case study in Savola Egypt. The draw
backs of solar thermal system are the huge upfront cost and
the area required for the solar collectors, and also, the
payback period for the solar system depends on the
consistency of the location in delivering the requiredenergy
for a decent benefit.

International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 06 Issue: 03 | Mar 2019 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2019, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.211 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 4774 Modeling of an Energy Saving Solar Water Heating System for Industrial Low Temperature Applications N. A. Abou-Ghattasa,b, A. Abbasb, H. H. El-Ghetanyc aDepartment of Chemical Engineering, Canal High Institute of Engineering and Technology, Suez, Egypt bMechanical Engineering Department, The British University in Egypt, Shourok City, 11837, Cairo, Egypt cSolar Energy Department, National Research Centre, Dokki, 12622, Giza, Egypt ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - The potential of solar thermal energy in industrial applications in Egypt is huge, even if it is not taking the same importance like photovoltaic modules and wind energy. The industrial section can benefit greatly from theuse of solar thermal systems, especially, when it comes to low temperature applications. So, in order to encourage the adaption of solar thermal energy in industrial application, a system was designed using the program “TRNSYS16”, inorder to estimate the true potential of solarthermalenergy inEgypt, in particular, low temperature applications. A study was conducted for six different locations usingthedesignedsystem by TRNSYS for the same flow rate demands for a low pressure boiler, covering most of Egypt from north to south. Thesystem was simulated in each location, and the energy output of each location is presented. The results showed a huge gain in energy savings, and also, in the amounts of natural gas saved per year. The benefits of each location were also calculated according to the amounts of natural gas saved, as well as, the capital cost of the system in each location. The results reflect the importance of solar energy in industrial process heating. Key Words: Solar thermal energy, solar heating, Low temperatureapplications,Trnsysmodelling,solarsimulation 1.INTRODUCTION At the end of 2016, the installed solar thermal capacity worldwide was about 176.8 GWth” Giga watt thermal” (221 million m2). Compared with 170 GWth for wind,69GWth for geothermal and 9.5 GWth for photovoltaic (solar electric) [1], solar thermal has undoubtedly held a leading position among the renewable energy sources. Most of the current solar thermal plants today provide hot water to households, for both sanitary purposes and space heating. Although the residential sector has a tremendous potential for solar thermal energy applications, the industrial sector has amazing potential too. Electric energy and transportation energy have been in the forefront of public discussions of energy [2]. On the other hand, heat is accounted for 37% of energy consumption in mostly developed countries and in overall world consumption of energy around 47% [6]. Unfortunately, most of the policy makers and investors around the world think that solar energy is only associated with electricity-producing photovoltaic (PV)panels.And the investors that realize the existence of solar thermal heating associates it mostly with heating outdoor swimming pools and residential water in the United States [3]. Around 90 operating solar thermal plants around the world are constructed to provide process heating for various industries. The total capacity of these plants is about 25 MWth “Mega Watt thermal” or approximately 35,000 m2 in area [7]. Comparing this 25 MWth capacity of the total installed capacity of solar thermal energy of 118 GWth, this leaves us with a very small fraction of (0.02%). Thiscapacity shows how much is the wasted potential of solar thermal energy in industrial applications. Figure 1 and Figure 2 shows the differentinstalledcapacities and number of operating plants that use solar thermal energy based on different industries and distribution by country. Fig. 1 Solar industrial process heat plants distribution by industrial sector [4].
  • 2. International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 06 Issue: 03 | Mar 2019 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2019, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 7.211 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 4775 Fig. 2 Solar industrial process heat plants - distribution by country [4]. The second issue that needed to be discussed is the most suitable industrial sectors for the use of solar thermal systems, so that it could be maximized by the use of solar thermal heat. In these sectors, heat is constantly required throughout the year and these sectors have the kind of temperature levels that work very well with the existing efficiencies of solar thermal systems. These sectors include: Food, including wine and beverage,Textile,Plastic andmetal treatment Some of the chemical industries, and Plastic treatment. Industrial heating can be divided into three main ranges. Most of them can be achieved by using solar thermal systems. The lowest range is any industry that uses heating applications at or below 80oC. A flat plate solar collector can reach this kind of temperature range and it’s widely and commercially available. The second range is any heating application between 80oC to 250oC. And this type of application can be achieved by using evacuated tube solar collectors. The final Temperature range is any heating application above 250oC [8]. This range of temperatures needs a CSP” ConcentratedSolar Power” system in order to achieve these kinds of temperatures. About30%of thetotal industrial heatdemand temperature range is in the first range at temperatures below 100oC and almost 57% in the range below 400oC [9]. The solar thermal industry is growing at a steadyrateforthe past decade. The global solar thermal market grew by 17% in 2007 and the growth continued until it reached 42% in 2008[4] because the residential heatingsectionspikedat45- 50%. By the end of 2009, Both the United States and Canada accounted for 8.7% of the installed capacity worldwide [2]. China led the global market with 58.9% of installedcapacity, followed by Europe at 18.9% [5]. 38 Firms have started using solar thermal systems for industrial process heating with projects that can be considered as large scale in Europe and China. And as for the Egyptian level, that makes it even more appealing as the temperature ranges for industrial heat processes in Egypt mostly falls below the 250oC [9] combined with the good irradiation levels throughout the year. In 2011, Egypt has witnessed the first achievement of utilization of renewable energy resource, which was the completion of the first 140 MW solar thermal plants in Kuraymat, and connecting it with the national gridattheend of June of 2011[9]. This project was a collaboration of multi- international support and the Egyptian government. The Egyptian government planes to supply 20%ofthe electricity generation in the country by forms of renewable energy by 2022 and reached to 42% by the year of 2035 according to the announcement of Egyptian new & renewable energy authority “NREA”. Egypt could supply more than half of its electricity demand by using renewable energy sources [9]. This paper discusses with detail, the potential of this type of energy by designing and optimizing a solar thermal system using the program “Trnsys 16” to simulate a solar thermal plant in different locations around Egypt to determine the range of useful energies per year in all those different locations. Due to the removal ofsubsidies bythegovernment on fossil fuels, the cost of fuel will be higher than ever before in Egypt, on the other hand, the price of the locally manufactured solar thermal equipment becamecompetitive to the fossil fuel equipment which consequently maximizes the benefits of a solar thermal system under these new conditions in Egypt. These expected impacts are not only on the Egyptian level, but for other countries with similar irradiation conditions that will adopt the usage of solar thermal systems. The expected impacts for this technology are:  Contribution to Egypt’s targets for renewables.  Job creation.  Fuel saving and cost reduction.  Contributing to global warming reduction and carbon levels.  Better future for our environment 2-THE DESIGNED SYSTEM AND SIMULATION The system consists of two loops, the first one (solar loop) consisting of the storage tank and evacuated tube solar collectors and a pump with a controller. The second one (load loop) consists of the pump and auxiliary heating unit before the boiler, and boiler or required load. The two loops are connected via heat exchangers, the oil is heated fromthe solar collectors, stored in the storage tanks and used to heat the water used for the desired load. The system consists of:  Single speed and variable speed pumps.  Evacuated tube solar collectors (without storage tank connected to it).  Stratified storage tanks (no auxiliary heating is used inside the tank).

The closed loop system for the collector-tank consistsoffour collector arrays. These collector arrays have the same exact design. This loop is split to four collector arrays for safety measures, and also, to prevent the system from completely shutting down if something happened to one of the collectors or piping. As the collectors might be connected in series, and if so, if one collector is damaged, it can stop the flow rate of the other connected collectors. Every collector array consists of a pump, storage tank, and a controller, and the evacuated tube collectors. The user can change the number of collectors used or even the type of collector if the demand is in a lower temperature ranges. The user can also control the collector arrayconfigurationforseriesorparallel based on the required design and flow rate. The tank size is based on the required amount of oil to be stored and can be adjusted also based on application and operating hours. It’s possible also to use the auxiliary heater built in the stratification tank but, it is disabled in the current design because an auxiliary heating unit is used after the heat exchangers output. The collector’s position can be adjusted by changing the tilt angle of the collector based on the latitude angle of the location. It is considered that the tilt angle of the collector is equal to the latitude angle of the location [10]. As shown in Fig. 3, the flow coming from the heat exchanger (cold output) enters a diverter, but, this diverter is connected to the controller. The diverter is used to divert the flow from the collector-tank loop in case the controller detects that the collectorandtank areoverheating above the max required design temperatures. And in this case, the flow is diverted to the tee-piece to cool the liquid coming from the tank and the collector before it enters the heat exchangers or mixers. And also for more safety measurements an expansion vessel is also used. Fig. 3 Collector array configuration The collector is also connected to the pump and tank and collector array. When the temperature of the oil leaving the collector is lower than the temperature set in the controller, the controller automatically shuts down the pump and the flow is only taken from the stored oil in the tank. Thisisused to preserve the heat in the tank as long as possibletobeused in the heat exchangers. The stratified tank is separated into two levels. The first level in the bottom stores the cold oil, the second level stores the hot oil. This loop is repeated four times and it’s the exact same design for each collector array. This design is great for energy saving and also for safety measures. The flow from the four collector arrays are mixed together and separated into two heat exchangers. The heat exchanger design is determined bythe enteringtemperature of the oil coming from the collector array and required temperature for the load and the overall heat transfer coefficient and the number of shell passes. The heat exchanger is designed based on these parameters and these parameters can determine the required length and number of tubes and type of heat exchanger to be used. The outputs of the heat exchangers are mixed together. A controller is connected to the mixing point. This controller determines if the flow should move to the auxiliary heater or the waste heat recovery if the output temperature of the heat exchangers is less ormorethantherequiredtemperaturesof the load. The waste heat recovery outputcanbeseparatedto two streams. A stream going to the actual load required, and a stream to any hot water application needed. As the extra heat can be useful and should not be wasted, the second stream can be used to heat the entering water before going to the heat exchangers in the first place. Figure 4 shows the design of the heat exchanger and auxiliary and WHR” Waste Heat Recovery” and load loop in more detail. And also as a controller is connected to the two heat exchangers to divert the flow completely for anyone of them in case there’s a failure or malfunction in one of them and it needs to be shut down. This is done to prevent the system from being completely shut down in case one of the heat exchangers fails. The weather fileisalsoinvolved which is connected to the solar collector array and also as an environmental temperature for the storage tanks. Each equipment has three things:  A parameter for certain conditions that need to be fixed like specific heat for a liquid used in the equipment, for example.  Input to the equipment that is coming from the previous equipment like mass flow rate or inlet temperature.  Output of the equipment that is connected to other equipment

The system is simulating the temperature output of the system all over the year Specifically, 8760hours.Thesystem output can present also any type of energy output from any equipment, as long as the connection is appliedtotheoutput printer. Which in turn, prints the results to an excel file where it can be utilized for data processing to be presented either in Figures, tables and charts. Asmentionedbefore,the simulation is done in 6 different locations around Egypt. In this case the results of the output temperature of the solar system are presented against the time per hour in a year. The parameters that are fixed are: The area of the solar collectors at 4284 m2, the flow rate of oil and water used in heat exchangers and collectors is 7295kg/hand12690kg/h respectively. These numbers are chosen based on a reference low pressure boiler system for a company named Savola Egypt, the oil flows through the four collector arrays and then stored in a stratified tank and the controller determines the amount of oil stored in the tank and when the oil stops from flowing to the collector array, the entered weather file is simulated across the year on the collector arrays, the hot oil enters the two heat exchangers and cold water is heated at the designed flow rates. If the temperatures acquired by the heat exchanger is exactly what is needed for the load, the auxiliary heater will not work, if the temperature is higher than needed, the flow of water will go through a waste heat recovery unit to extract the extra heat that is given by the solar system, if the temperatures are lowered than required the auxiliary will be used and lossesarealsocalculatedinthe auxiliary in this case. Then the water flow enters the required load and the results are printed to the output file in the form of an excel file for all year long. All the modeling equations used for each equipment of the system are obtained at [11]. The study is based on the dataobtainedfromthecompany as shown in Table. 1. And these data are used as a reference point for the simulation of the 6 locations in Egypt, as these data represent an actual low pressure boiler system that is currently used in the company Savola.

Results for various locations based on temperatures The results show a huge difference in the consistency of the temperatures obtained by system in the various locations. Figures [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], and [11], show the consistency of the temperatures is different from location to location, this is mainly because of the difference in wind speeds and humidity levels in each location and also the amounts of radiation per year on each location. Aswan being the lowest in humidity and El Arish and Mersa Matruh being the highest. Also, the amount of shading is different between each location, which can vary the results. This difference in temperature levels affect the amounts of energy saved and energy needed for the auxiliary. The system can reach temperatures up to 1750C in summer times of Suez, Giza, Aswan and El Gharbia, this can serve a great amount of industrial thermal applications and can save lots of energy, especially, in the summer times where radiation is at its peak.

The lowest amount of energy saved by a system is at El Arish for a collector area of 800 m2 at 5330 GJ and the highest energy saved by the system is in Aswan for a collector area of 5000 m2 at 20000 GJ. The amount of energy in Suez and El Gharbia are similar. These results will reflect in theamounts of Natural gas that will be saved for each location based on the calorific value of the natural gas. Fig. 13 Energy needed for auxiliary per area of collector for different locations. 3.3 Results for benefits for different locations based on area In the current study, the benefits were determined for natural gas saved based on a calorific value of a boiler of efficiency of 70% [12]. The Egyptian government is removing the subsides on natural gas and petroleum products slowlyovertime[13].Which consequentlyprovides considerable advantages of a solar thermal system to be competitive. The price of natural gasisestimatedat$0.31 for meter cube of natural gas [13] based on current conversion rates of EGP to $ in 2019. The prices of natural gas in Egypt differ based on the type of industry and the consumption of natural gas. The calorific value of natural gas at 70% efficiency is 30100 KJ/m3 of natural gas. The benefits were determined of each location by dividing the total energy saved over the calorific value of natural gas to calculate the amount of natural gas saved. Figure 14 shows the difference between the benefits based on each location. Mersa Matruh has the lowest value of money saved at $54893 /year and Aswan being the highest value at $205980 / year. Fig. 14 The benefits of each location based on solar collector area 3.4 Results for capital cost based on location The capital cost of each location was determined by the capital cost of the case study in Savola company as reference case in the system design. As the flow rates in Savola Egypt are used in the general study and the same design of the system is used, the cost per unit area of the system can be calculated by dividing the capital cost of the project / area of solar collectors used, to determine an approximation of the cost per m2 for the solar system in each location. Figure 15 shows the difference in capital cost between El Arish or Mersa Matruh and Aswan is huge.El ArishandMersa Matruh at $1079010 and for Aswan only at $383648. All these capital costs are calculated based on the areas of solar collectors for each locationat13000GJ/yearofuseful energy output by the system.

Mersa Matruh being the highest cost if auxiliary for 800 m2 at $81877/year, and Aswan being the lowest at only $16375/year. The cost of the auxiliary system is calculated in the same way as the benefits, by losing the calorific value of natural gas of a boiler at 70% efficiency. The auxiliary energy calculated before is converted into natural gas consumption for each location. Fig. 16 The cost of auxiliary based on area for different locations 3.6 natural gas saved for different locations based on area Figure 17 shows the natural gas amount for each location based on area is shown, and the calculations are done based on the calorific value of natural gas at 70% efficiency. The amount of natural gas is determined from the energy saved per year. The results show the same theme observed by the previous results, Aswan being the highest in amounts of natural gas saved at a tremendous value of 664000 m3/year of natural gas saved, while Mersa Matruh and El Arish being the lowest at 178000 m3/year, these numbers show how a solar system can affect the consumption of natural gas if it’s connected to a low temperature thermal load. Fig. 17 The amounts of natural gas saved based on area of collectors for different locations. 3.7 Amount of natural gas needed for auxiliary for different locations based on area As indicated by the results of the energy saved per year for each location, the energy for auxiliary can differ greatly based on the consistency of the system.Figure18showsthat Mersa Matruh has the highest amount of natural gas needed at 259000 m3/year for 800 m2 solar collector area and Aswan is the lowest at 52800 m3/year for 5000 m2 solar collector area.

The designed system model by Trnsys helped us determine the potential of the solar thermal energy by simulating theweatherconditionsineach of the 6 locations in which the study was conducted. It showed the great potential of solar thermal energyineach of these locations. It also showed how much we can save on fossil fuels like natural gas if we opted to use solar thermal energy instead of conventional systems.Thedesignedmodel was also used for the case study in Savola Egypt. The draw backs of solar thermal system are the huge upfront cost and the area required for the solar collectors, and also, the payback period for the solar system depends on the consistency of the location in delivering the requiredenergy for a decent benefit.
