Abstract

A dynamic numerical model of a solar thermal installation is developed. The aim of the installation is to supply hot water (over 80 °C) twice a day to a veal calf farm. It consists of 16 evacuated tubes solar water heaters associated to an unpressurised tank using the thermosiphon effect. The particularity of the installation is its layout, which alternates between solar collectors connected in series and those connected in parallel. This arrangement allows both pre-heating and storage of hot water. The solar installation contributed by 60% to the energy demand during a production cycle.
