A Review of Solar Flat Plate Liquid Collector‟s Components

Abstract

Main components of solar Flat plate Liquid collector are Transparent cover, Absorber Plate, Heat transport system including fluid and Insulating Material. Besides these, tilt angle and direction with respect to Sun is also very important. For best design, various materials available for all these components must be compared for their properties and confi–––––gurations. The processes and Techniques which will further improve their performance must also be studied. Present study is review of various component material options and improvement techniques.
