READ MOREFlat-Plate Collectors. A solar collector is a special kind of heat exchanger that transforms solar radiant energy into heat. A solar collector differs in several respects from more conventional heat exchangers. The latter usually accomplish a fluid-to-fluid exchange with high heat transfer rates and with radiation as an unimportant factor.
READ MOREThe solar collector is classified as concentrating and non-concentrating. Non-concentrating is further subdivided into the flat plate solar collector and evacuated tube collector [13, 14]. Flat plate solar collector (FPSC) is the common type used to convert radiant energy into thermal energy by using absorber plate.
