[esp-r] Re: water-glycol-mixing for solar collector

[Ferguson, Alex]

Hi Monika, 
 
The simplified one-node solar collector model that Kamel mentioned in an
earlier email supports two-phase flow (that is glycol and water
mixtures). Kamel also modified the pump, tank and heat-exchanger models
to support glycol mixtures.

Subject: [esp-r] water-glycol-mixing for solar collector



Dear all,

 

I work with a plant system which includes a solar collector. Is it
right, that the plant system work with water? Usually a solar collector
works with a water-glycol-mixture. Due to the different of the thermal
capacity and density of water and water-glycol-mixture, the collector
reacts differently. Does somebody know how to handle this? Is there a
possibility to specify the fluid? 

 

 

Thank you.

 

Best regards

 

Monika
