Heat pipe in an evacuated tube solar collector contains a heat transfer fluid of a low boiling point that absorbs the latent heat of vaporization. The heat transfer fluid in vapor form rises upwards to the tip of the heat pipe and transfers its energy to the fluid in contact with a heat pipe.
Evacuated tube solar collector having a heat pipe is 15-20% more efficient than water in a glass evacuated tube collector, but the initial cost of the heat pipe is higher . Heat pipe evacuated tubes with compound parabolic concentrating (CPC) solar collectors have 78% thermal efficiency .
Evacuated tube solar collector is capable of working in hot, mild, cloudy or cold climates where flat plate collector is not an option. The objective of this review paper is the detailed investigation of evacuated tube solar collectors having heat pipe and direct flow are reviewed.
Since the last decades, solar energy has been used worldwide to overcome foreign dependency on crude oil and to control the pollution due to a limited source of non-renewable energy. Evacuated tube solar collectors are the most suitable solar technology for producing useful heat in both low and medium temperature levels.
Solar thermal collectors are one type of heat exchangers that absorb the incident solar irradiance and produce useful heat for utilization in various applications .
Currently, there are no review study dedicated to the application of solar collectors for public buildings energy demand. This study aims to offer an in-depth overview on the latest developments, challenges, and successes in the utilization of solar thermal collectors, with a specific focus on their impact on energy consumption in public buildings.
