The performances of solar collectors with single and double evacuated tube were experimentally compared. The solar collector with single evacuated tube using surface treatment in this study consists of radiation fin, heat pipe, absorber plate, glass tube, cap and regulating valve, and so on. Surface treatment was conducted for heat pipe and absorber plate with black chrome plating and copper black coating. As the results, the performance of solar collector with single evacuated tube using surface treatment showed good results compared that of double evacuated tube. Absorber plate played a positive role in performance and showed increase of about 28%. Further performance depends on vacuum degree and vacuum degree has to be considered economical efficiency in solar collector.

신재생에너지 분야 중 특히 태양에너지를 이용하는 분야는 자원의 무한 및 청정성 때문에 그 사용량이 증가 추세에 있다. 우리나라에서 태양열에너지의 이용률이 전체 에너지 사용량 중 아직 미미한 실정이지만, 근래 정부의 정책적 지원에 힘입어 이 분야에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 태양열집열기의 형상 변화에 따른 집열효율을 조사하기 위하여 단일진공관 태양열집열기를 이용한 실험 및 이중진공관 태양열집열기와의 비교 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 본 실험장치에서 히트 파이프의 최고온도의 차이로부터 태양열집열기 형상 변화에 따른 집열효율의 변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구대상 태양열집열기의 히트파이프의 온도가 비교대상 태양열집열기보다 높음에도 불구하고 방열핀의 온도가 낮게 관측되었다. 이것은 본 연구대상의 태양열집열기는 히트파이프 방열부인 헤드부와 방열핀 사이의 접촉저항이 비교대상의 접촉저항보다 크다는 것을 나타내며, 집열효율을 높이기 위해서는 태양열집열기의 여러 부분의 성능개선뿐만 아니라 접촉저항에 의한 집열손실도 감소시켜야 함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a solar collector to introduce natural convection in a water tank as a means of obtaining warm water. Numerical analysis was performed to predict the characteristics of the solar collector and its performance was verified using an experimental method. The single vacuum structure of the collector enabled natural convection when it was fitted on the water tank. Based on numerical analysis, warm water of $31-54^{\circ}C$ was obtained when the inlet temperature of cold water was $20^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, the temperature of the warm water could be predicted under various conditions as well as the experimental conditions created for this study.
