Abstract :

In this paper, an analysis of a general electric U-shape evacuated tubular collector (ETC) for constant collection temperature mode of operation will be carried out. Thermal energy gain and exergy gain have been evaluated by considering the four types of Indian weather conditions for the climatic condition of New Delhi, India. Further, the characteristic curve of the proposed system will also be developed for at constant collection temperature. It is expected that behavior of an instantaneous thermal efficiency and overall exergy efficiency will have same trend. However, exergy gain will be having lower value than the thermal gain as expected.
