Energy efficiency of solar collectors using water as solar liquid

Abstract: EFEKTYWNOŚĆ ENERGETYCZNA KOLEKTORÓW SŁONECZNYCH WYKORZYSTUJĄCYCH WODĘ, JAKO PŁYN SOLARNYW Polsce najczęściej stosowanym płynem solarnym w instalacjach grzewczych z kolektorami słonecznymi są 35-50% wodne roztwory glikolu propylenowego lub etylowego. Takie mieszaniny wraz z dodatkami uszlachetniającymi skutecznie zabezpieczają instalację solarną przed skutkami zamarznięcia czynnika roboczego przy niskich temperaturach zewnętrznych panujących w okresie zimowym. Roztwory te, w porównaniu do wody, charakteryzują s… Show more

“…Such mixtures, together with refining additives, effectively protect the solar system from freezing of the working medium at outdoor temperatures reaching around −36 • C during the winter. In comparison to water, such solutions have several times higher viscosity, which generates greater hydraulic resistance when pumping liquid in the solar system and, consequently, an increased consumption of electricity by the circulating pump [12,13]. Other disadvantages of these fluids compared to water include:…”

“…lower specific heat values in the range of typical operating temperatures of the working fluid; -thermal degradation with precipitation of, among others, lactates, acetates and formates, as well as insoluble ethers depositing on the inner surface of the solar system components, -hindering heat transfer and increasing the freezing point of the solar fluid; -can be highly corrosive, resulting in accelerated clogging of the collectors and in some cases other system components; -risk of poisoning as a result of accidental ingestion; -much higher price per unit volume [12][13][14].…”
