Efficiency of Hybrid Solar Collectors Application in Building Heating Systems by Stepan Shapoval, Yurii Pryshliak, Fedir Ivashchyshyn, Bogdan Gulai, Mariana Kasynets, Stepan Mysak

“…Based on the research results, a nomogram has been developed to define the relationship between the thermal efficiency coefficient of the solar cover with a transparent coating and the arrangement of pipes of the heat carrier circulation loop above the heat absorber depending on the angles and the intensity of the radiation flux. As a result, a functional dependence is obtained, which allows accurately determining the coefficient of thermal efficiency for specific parameters and input data. …”
