Abstract

In terms of solar heater designs, this study compares the characteristics of collectors made from evacuated tubes (ETCs) as well as collectors with flat plates (FPCs). Due to their reduced heat loss, ETCs—which have individual tubes made of glass with a sealed under-vacuum double-wall design—perform exceptionally well in colder climates. FPCs, in comparison, are more affordable but less effective since they include a simpler absorbent plate that fits inside of a flat panel. These designs can be implemented using the SolidWorks software, which permits precise 3D modeling as well as simulations. According to research, ETCs are appropriate for colder locations since their vacuum insulation reduces heat loss along maintains greater temperatures. Even while radiation losses make FPCs less efficient, they are still excellent at collecting daylight energy, specifically in warmer climates. Decision-makers looking for sustainable cooling solutions might benefit from analysis that takes into account technical characteristics, financial viability, and geographical compatibility.
