Özet:

This research includes an experimental investigation of a novel design of the domestic solar collector. This design is inspired by cutting the cylinder with two levels: the first level is a vertical plane, and the second level is inclined with 45°. The experiments were conducted in two locations, the first in the Iraqi Kirkuk city (35.47o N, 44.39o E), and the other in the Turkish van city (38.5° N, 43.33o E). Two similar experimental models were built for this purpose.

The results of the recearch confirmed the maximum water temperature of the model under Iraqi weather conditions is higher than the water temperature of the collector in Turkish weather conditions. when we put continuous load 0.2 liters/min, the water temperature outlet collector in Iraq 34 °C, 42 °C and 68 °C at 3 pm for the month of December, March and July respectively. But in Turkey at the same months, 28 ° C, 33 °C and 55 °C at 1 pm respectively. when we put continuous load 0.4 liters/min, the water temperature outlet in Iraq 31 °C, 38°C and 61 °C at 3 pm for the month of December, March and July respectively. The total efficiency without load was obtained 49% in Iraq, while in Turkey it was obtained 38%. But the total efficiency was for the wedge collector operating in Iraqi weather conditioning, where it recorded 61% and 65%. Either in Turkey efficiency in, reached 53% and 67% when the of the volume water flow rate 0.2liter/min and 0.4 liter/min respectively.
