Influence of orientation on efficiency of combined solar heating system in gravity mode

Abstract

The use of renewable energy sources is a priority and a qualitative new direction in the energy sector. The article presents the efficiency of heat generation in a heating system with solar collectors at different orientations relativeto the horizon. Graphs illustrating the temperature changes in the proposed solar heating system and the amount of solar radiation energy falling on the solar collector during the experiment are presented. In addition, the amount and efficiency of heat generation in the examined collector system was determined.
