The flat plate solar collector is a device that absorbs energy from solar radiation and converts it into thermal energy. It consists of several flat heat-absorbing panels, each covered with a special coating capable of efficiently converting sunlight into thermal energy. The interior of the heat absorber is filled with a fluid, such as water or oil, which absorbs the heat transferred by the heat absorber. There is a protective cover covered with glass or plastic film outside the heat absorbing plate. This protective cover not only prevents moisture and dust from the external environment from entering the heat absorbing plate, but also protects the heat absorbing plate. from the influence of ultraviolet rays.
Under sunlight, the heat absorbing plates of the flat solar collector will convert the sunlight into solar energy.rmic, and at the same time, the fluid will also absorb this heat. When the temperature of the fluids reaches a certain level, they can be transported through pipes to where heating is needed, such as a hot water tank in your home or an indoor heating system. Additionally, some flat panel solar collectors are equipped with a heat exchanger, which can further improve thermal energy utilization. In short, flat panel solar collectors are a highly efficient solar energy utilization technology that can help people reduce their dependence on traditional fossil fuels, reduce energy costs, and also have a positive effect on protecting the environment. the environment.
