Abstract (2. Language):
In this paper experimental result of flat plate collector are presented. A solar water heater indoor unit is studied. In order to evaluate the performances of the prototype, the test was conducted over a period of three days to determine the performance of the setup. As this water heater is an indoor unit, halogen lamp has been used as a source of radiation, with the help of regulator radiation can be varying. Experiments were conducted by varying radiation and wind velocity and it is found out that the decrease in radiation leads to increase in collector time constant. Also with the reduction in radiation overall heat loss coefficient increases whereas heat removal factor reduces and hence efficiency decreases.
