Abstract

A mathematical model is constructed for the description of the heat-transfer process in a system consisting of a solar collector, a heat exchanger, and a gas exchanger. Simple formulas are derived for calculating the temperature field of a system of pipes with a time increment equal to one cycle (the period during which the suspension completes its circulation in the system). Two cases are considered: with the heat exchanger disconnected and using the heat exchanger with a two-position automatic temperature regulator. A prototype example is solved for the first case and the model results are compared with a standard procedure.
