THERMAL PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF A SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEM IN TASHKENT
Keywords:
Solar collector, f-chart, domestic hot water, solar irradiation, solar heat, heat exchanger, net present value, investmentAbstract
In these days, with an increase in the standard of living, there is an increase in demand for energy, as well as increasing requirements for energy conservation and the use of renewable energy sources. The article presents the results of studying the possibility of using solar collectors in the small business sector, in particular, to meet the needs of hot water supply for a
hotel located in Tashkent. The study used the f-method to determine part of the load on hot water covered by solar collectors. An economic analysis of the proposed system is carried out, the results of the study and their discussion are presented.
