Abstract
Two simulation models have been used to analyse the heat storage
design’s influence on the thermal performance of solar domestic
hot water (SDHW) systems. One model is especially designed for
traditional SDHW systems based on a heat storage design where the
solar heat exchanger is a built-in spiral. The other model is
especially designed for low flow SDHW systems based on a mantle
tank.The tank design’s influence on the thermal performance of the
SDHW systems has been investigated in a way where only one tank
parameter has been changed at a time in the calculations. In this
way a direct analysis of the tank design’s influence on the
thermal performance of the systems is possible. By means of the
calculations design rules for the two heat storage types are
proposed.
