A solar heat exchanger is a device designed specifically to do this task in a solar thermal system. Cold water - a heat transfer fluid - enters the solar collector, and solar radiation hits the collectors' surface area, heating the water flowing through them.
The plant was driven by a solar PV array and parabolic trough collectors, and included a thermoelectric generator/cooler, an ORC unit, an absorption chiller, a thermal energy storage system, and a heat pump. The plant produced electricity, domestic hot water, heat, cooling, and hydrogen.
Solar thermal energy can be used both to supply thermal energy in a heating system and solar thermal power plants. Other examples of standard heat exchangers are the car radiator and the heater for domestic heating. A heat exchanger is a device designed to transfer heat between two media that are separated by a barrier or that are in contact.
The combination of a solar heat pipe collector with thermoelectric modules could provide a very useful device for simultaneous power generation and hot water heating. Such hybrid systems could offer small, mobile, transportable and off-grid power and heating systems for small-scale industry or domestic applications.
The basic scheme of a solar thermal energy installation is as follows: These are two closed circuits with a heat exchanger. In the primary circuit, the cold heat transfer fluid passes through the solar panels. Radiation from the Sun heats it and goes to a heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy to the secondary circuit and then, repeat the cycle.
