  • Abstract:
  • Solar domestic water heating systems (SDWHS) are widely used in China, with an installed collector area of more than 330million square meters by the end of 2014. In this study, we explored cost-optimal renewable-based district heat production systems and potentials to integratesolar heating systems in such systems under different contexts. A project has been conducted on an indirect natural circulation solar water heating system which is hung on a simulated balconywall in Lianyungang City in the east of China. The daily system efficiency could reach 62% with large solar irradiation and small temperature between the collectors’ temperature and the ambient temperature. Experiments on SDWHS have been performed on the platform as well as on the ground,respectively. It has been found that the relative difference of the daily thermal efficiency measured by the two methods is lowerthan 3%.
