Project objectives
In the initial phase, the company wanted to make a comparison between a collector of its own and two collectors with characteristics similar to those of another manufacturer. In the end, two collectors from the same house have been compared: one that they have just marketed and the other the one they installed until then.
La principal diferencia entre los dos captadores es si la energía se acumula en el circuito primario o secundario. El viejo captador acumula la energía en el circuito secundario (circuito de consumo) y el nuevo captador en el primario (parte glicolada).
La norma de comparación seguida por el CENER (Centro Nacional de Energías Renovables) es la norma oficial. Hemos realizado las pruebas que CENER realiza para obtener los rendimientos oficiales de los captores.
Tasks performed
- Each day we have released a specific amount of liters and recorded the accumulated energy. Along with this, the ambient temperature, radiation and cold water temperature are also recorded.
- All the data has been saved in a datalogger and then at the end of the month the data is analyzed, the dynamic tables and graphs are completed and the monthly comparison is passed to the company.
- In a second phase, improvements will be proposed in the tests that are currently carried out to see the real capacity of the collectors.
