A roof collector for industrial hot water production
A roof collector, fabricated by simple modifications effected on the existing G.I. corrugated sheet roofs of industrial sheds, is proposed to supply hot water for industrial purposes. A mathematical model is developed to predict the performance of such a collector. A small collector, using G.I. corrugated sheet as absorber has been fabricated and tested to measure the thermal efficiency. At low water-inlet temperatures, the experimental values agree reasonably well with the predicted values but, at higher inlet temperatures, the experimental values are lower than the predicted values.
