Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleWhy is China the World’s Leader of Solar Water Heater Production and Consumption?Lee Liu, Jie LiuSustainable energy programs in developing countries face many challenges. The purpose of this research is to examine why China has been successful as the world’s leader of Solar Water Heater (SWH) production and consumption. The study is based on field work in China in the past two years in areas where SWHs are widely used. The results may help provide … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2013 · 7,501 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEnergetic Performances Study of an Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water HeaterO. Helal, B. Chaouachi, S. Gabsi, C. BoudenProblem statement: Although that the interest attributed to the solar energy remains relatively limited, we attend today to the conception of several installations using the sun as energy source among which we quote the solar water heater. Approach: A study of energetic performances was taken on an integrated collector/storage solar water heater made in the National School of Engineers of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,897 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Single Pass, Double Duct Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Air Collector with CPC and FinsM. Ebrahim Ali Alfegi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Yusof Hj Othman, Baharudin Bin YatimThe temperature of photovoltaic modules increases when it absorbs solar radiation, causing a decrease in efficiency. This undesirable effect can be partially avoided by applying a heat recovery unit with fluid circulation (air or water) with the photovoltaic module. Such unit is called photovoltaic/thermal collector (pv/t) or hybrid (pv/t). An experimental investigation of a solar air heater with photovoltaic cell … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,992 accessesView PDF Cite
