Abstract

The solar water heating system is one of the seven green campus items installed at the Gangneung campus of Gangneung-Wonju National University. The solar water heating system has two types of solar collectors, four storage tanks and monitoring equipment. Fixed and azimuth-tracking solar collectors were installed to collect heat from the sun. The amount of heat collected by the two different types of solar collectors was calculated from the temperature of the monitored storage tanks. Our results showed that the amount of solar heat collected by the azimuth-tracking solar collector was 19% greater on a sunny day and 23% greater on a rainy day than that collected by the fixed solar collector; therefore, the azimuth-tracking solar collectors are, on an average, 21% more efficient than the fixed solar collectors.

강릉원주대학교는 캠퍼스 내에 저탄소 녹색기술 아이템들을 설치하였다. 그 중에 태양열 급탕시스템은 태양열 집열판을 고정식과 방위추적식의 두 가지 방식으로 설치하였으며, 기존의 고정식 집열판과 새로운 방위추적식 집열판을 사용하는 급탕시스템의 집열량을 비교하기 위해 모니터링을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서는 태양열 급탕시스템의 구성 및 모니터링 시스템을 소개하고 모니터링 결과를 통해 고정식과 방위추적식 태양열 집열판을 사용한 두 가지 급탕시스템의 집열성능을 비교하였다. 방위추적식의 집열량이 고정식보다 맑은 날에는 19%, 비온 날에는 23%, 평균 21% 만큼 더 크다는 것을 보여준다.
