Summary

On the basis of balanced energy fluxes (including the removal of useful energy) inside the flat-plate solar-energy collector, and the energy fluxes between the collector and its environment, a model for simulation of daily courses of energy exchanges and gain is constructed, using the known climatic data. Numerical experiments with this model show also an interesting dependence of useful energy on some meteorological parameters like: fog, precipitations and wind.

Zusammenfassung

Auf der Grundlage von ausgeglichenen Energieflüssen (einschließlich Abfuhr der Nutzungsenergie) innerhalb einer flachen Sonnenenergie-Kollektorplatte und von Energieflüssen zwischen Kollektor und seiner Umgebung wird mit Verwendung von bekannten Klimadaten ein Módell für die Simulation von Tagesgängen des Energieaustausches und -gewinns entwickelt. Numerische Experimente mit diesem Modell zeigen auch eine interessante Abhängigkeit der nutzbaren Energie von einigen meteorologischen Parametern wie Nebel, Niederschläge und Wind.
