Abstract
A detailed mathematical model simulating the thermal behaviour of a small low flow solar heating system based on mantle heat storage was validated by means of measurements already carried out on a small low flow solar heating system for domestic hot water supply. It was then investigted how the thermal performance of low flow systems is influenced by variations of the solar irradiance caused by clouds. The thermal performances of low flow systems and of traditional solar heating systems have been calculated. Especially for small solar fractions and for small ratios between the hot water consumption and the solar collector area, the extra performance of the low flow system compared to the performance of the traditional solar heating system is significant. The model does not take the inappropriate mixing between hot water heated by the auxiliary energy source and colder water heated by the solar collector into consideration. By means of the validated mathematical model a number of calculations with different system designs have been carried out. Based on these calculations figures showing the yearly thermal performance of differently designed low flow systems have been prepared. (AB).
