ANALYSIS OF MODERN CONSTRUCTIONS OF SOLAR WATER-HEATING COLLECTORS

Abstract

An analysis of modern designs of solar water-air heating collectors shows that, compared to traditional single-function (water only or air only) systems, combined systems provide higher energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. Combined (hybrid) solar water-air collectors are modern high-efficiency heliotechnical devices designed to heat water and air at the same time. Unlike traditional water-only or air-only heating systems, these structures serve to make integrated use of solar energy and provide heat and hot water (DHW) to buildings. The technical and economic indicators of flat, vacuum and hybrid collectors were compared, and the latest innovations in the field were considered
