A Study on the Optimum Design for a Solar Domestic Hot Water System

小規模 太陽熱 給湯시스템 의 最適設計 에 관한 硏究

This paper presents a typical solar domestic hot water system and estimates their performances with variance of collector size, storage volume, collector tilt and other factors. The analysis is performed by th computer simulation for which conceptual system against 8760 hourly solar intensities and ambient temperature for a model year stored in the computer has been running. System performance is analyzed on hourly, monthly and yearly basis respectively and at the same time, the economics of various systems are evaluated. And also, this paper shows how an optimized design can be selected for any locality for which solar data and collector performance are provided. The results of this study are as follows. (1)Storage volume of 45 liter per square meter of solar collector lead to the best design. (2)Tilting the collectors to the same angle of the latitude is generally the best (3)Optimal size of collector is approximately 6.68-8.35m$^{2}$ when the latitude is 37.6 .deg. N and storage volume is 300 liter. (4)The performances of a solar domestic hot water system does not depend on the hourly usage but the daily usage.

본 연구에서는 2개의 축적탱크와 외부 열교환기로 구성된 가정용 태양열 급탕 시스템을 시뮬레이션 모델로 이론적인 해석을 하고 설계인자들의 값들을 변화시킴으로 써 각각의 성능을 계산할 수 있었다. 또 이 성능 계산치에 의하여 최적설계 인자치 들을 구할 수 있었다. 또한 1983년 1년간 서울지방의 매 시간 일분량과 기온을 사용 하였다.
