Fabric inlet stratifiers for solar tanks with different volume flow rates
In this paper investigations of two different two layer fabric stratification pipes are presented and compared to a rigid stratification pipe with holes with “non-return” valves. The fabric stratification pipes are constructed of filament polyester and acrylic. The fabric pipes are mounted in the centre of a glass tank (400 x 400 x 900 mm).
The forced volume flow rate is in the range of 6 – 10 l/min, and water enters the stratification pipe from the bottom of the tank. The thermal behaviour of the stratification pipes is investigated for different realistic operation conditions
