Modeling and analysis of home heating system material performance with induction using solar energy

Abstract

As a result, in Libya, where temperatures do not drop significantly during the winter months, induction boilers connected to solar panels provide a practical and cost-effective solution for home heating. Because solar energy is utilized to its maximum capacity, the required room temperature can be easily achieved with a boiler with a low resistance capacity. Resistance boilers, on the other hand, have lost their appeal because of frequent failures and the need for considerable effort during the transformation process. Fortunately, the boiler's failure potential is minimal at this point; therefore, water heating using the induction heating principle is a suitable option in this situation. In this research, the goal is to look at water heating technologies as a potential replacement for electric boiler applications. Because of this, a specific method for heating buildings and water heating was developed and put forth for consideration. The electrical connection of the solar panels served as the power source for the planned system and satisfactory results were obtained. The results were verified using theoretical calculation and Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The performance of the heat exchanger was evaluated, and the results showed that the efficiency is improved by decreasing the flow rate, tube diameter, coil diameter, and coil length; moreover, the performance index is enhanced by increasing the tube diameter and decreasing the coil, vessel diameter.
