Experimental Research And Simulation Calculation On Oscillating-flow Heat Pipe Solar Water Heater System

Oscillating-flow heat pipe is a new-type heat transfer element, with the traditional heat pipe advantages, it also has the advantages of simple structure, no core, arbitrary bent, large equivalent heat transfer coefficient, etc.As the core component, oscillating-flow heat pipe decides the performance of the solar water heater system.The study and simulation of this paper is mainly based on the thought of oscillating-flow heat pipe combined with solar water heater. The thermal performance variation laws of oscillating-flow heat pipes are summarized through the experiment.After establishing calculation models of solar radiation and oscillating-flow heat pipe solar water heater systems, the performance parameters of the systems are got in a given energy input and collector parameters condition.
