Abstract

The article considers experimental studies of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the active section of the self-draining solar loop of a heating system. This element is designed as a flow constrictor referred to as Ventury tube, with a high degree of flow constriction of 2–5 in the region with strong viscous resistance. The experimental data are processed in a criteria form, the general type of which is obtained by dimensional technique and compared with data from other authors. The obtained criteria dependences can be used to calculate the hydrodynamic characteristics of the active section of the self-draining solar loop of a heating system.
