摘要
The thermal performance of solar heating systems is strongly influenced by the thermal stratification in the heat storage. The higher the degree of thermal stratification is, the higher the thermal performance of the solar heating systems. Thermal stratification in water storage can for instance be achieved by use of inlet stratifiers combined with low flow operation in the solar collector loop. In this paper, investigation of a number of different fabric stratification pipes is presented and compared to a non-flexible inlet stratifier. Additional, detailed investigation of the flow structure close to two fabric stratification pipes is presented for one set of operating conditions by means of the optical PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) method.
