This article includes a practical assessment of a novel design of the domestic
solar collector and verification of its home uses, where the proposed model can be utilized
as a water tank instead of the usual cubic and cylindrical tanks utilized in homes. This
design is inspired by cutting the cylinder with two levels: a 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 (35.47 No
, 44.39 oE), and the other in the Turkish
van city (38°.5 No
, 43.33 oE). Two identical practical models were built for this purpose.
The results of the article confirmed the average water temperature of the model under Iraqi
weather conditions is higher than the water temperature of the collector in Turkish weather
conditions. The results of the model under Iraqi weather conditions showed that the
average water temperature reached about 53 °C at 5 p.m. Under load condition, the highest
water temperature leaving the new collector was 47 oC at 4 p.m. in Kirkuk. The results
confirmed that the average water temperature leaving the collector depends on the volume
flow rate of water and the surrounding climatic conditions.
