Abstract

In this paper, the effect of stratification and integration of the storage tank of an SDHW, a storage tank containing the system behavior is analyzed with the storage tank under different thermal stratifications. There are many different types of solar collectors, but all of them are constructed with the same basic premise in mind. In general. Get simulated solar collector results By simulating (collector with surface of 2 m2 and a storage tank of 300 L), operated in Oran (Algeria), A solar collector is a device that collects and/or concentrates solar radiation from the Sun. These devices are primarily used for active solar heating and allow for the heating of water for personal use. These collectors are generally mounted on the roof and must be very sturdy as they are exposed to a variety of different weather conditions. The use of these solar collectors provides an alternative for traditional domestic water heating using a water heater, potentially reducing energy costs over time. As well as in domestic settings, a large number of these collectors can be combined in an array and used to generate electricity in solar thermal power plants. What we do in this research is to analyze the temperature inside the tank and this taking into account the changes in the temperature that come in touching the stratification of the tank. This study gives us the ideal way to obtain good results for the system by studying nodes.
