This study focus on the analysis, modeling and simulation of solar
domestic hot water(DHW) systems. Problems related to the system
operation such as input weather data and hot water load conditions
are also investigated.In order to investigate the heat loss as
part of the total heat load, dynamic model of distribution network
is developed and simulations are carried out for typical designed
circulation type of distribution networks. For dynamic simulation
of thermosyphon and drain-back solar DHW systems, thermosyphon
loop model and drain-back tank model are put forward. Based on the
simulations, several recommendations are given for optimum design
of such types of systems.
