Abstract
The performance of a built-in storage type of water heater can be improved using the principle of the thermal trap. In the following article, we have proposed two designs of solar water heater with a thermal trap and studied their performance for different duty cycles. A comparison is made with a water heater without a thermal trap. We have found that the proposed designs are nearly as good as the heater without a thermal trap but having a night insulating cover to decrease energy loss for the no-sunshine period.
