Solar Thermal Expansion Water Pump

Solar thermal expansion pump is used for domestic purposes in lifting water from a lower level to a higher level and to store it. It is used to supply hot water in industrial applications. The performance of a co-operation of a solar thermal water heater and air-source heat pump hot water system was investigated numerically and experimentally for the climatic data of Athens [14]. By proper temperature set-point to trigger the heat pump, 70 % of energy saving was achieved while the COP showed a rather constant level of 3.0 ...

How do solar water pumps work?

In recent decades, some solar pumps operating on the principle of thermodynamic conversion scheme have been built and tested extensively throughout the world. These pumping systems utilize the thermal energy from the Sun to run a conventional water pump or specially designed expander to achieve pumping of water.

How do solar thermal systems work?

In these solar thermal systems, the water that circulates between the solar collectors and the accumulator cannot do so by natural convection since the hottest water is already at its highest point. To do this, you will need a conventional water pump and, therefore, an external electrical power source.

Are solar thermal water pumps cheaper than electrical water pumps?

If the costs of fossil fuels, transportation, energy conversion, electricity transmission and system maintenance are taken into account, the cost of energy produced by solar thermal water pumps would be much lower than that for electrical water pumps.

Can a solar thermal energy system produce hot water by thermosyphon?

In many cases it is not feasible to install solar thermal energy equipment to obtain domestic hot water by thermosyphon, given that the location of the solar collectors is often above the tank. This renewable energy system is required in underfloor heating systems.

Where are solar thermal water pumps located?

Also, most of the solar thermal water pumps will probably be located in the farming village, where land is relatively inexpensive and water demand goes along with the solar radiation available, rather than for commercial use owing to their bulk and relatively low pumping head.

Can solar thermal water pumps be used for irrigation?

Conclusions The development of solar thermal water pumps for irrigation is promising. The technology continues to develop, and the cost of producing power with solar thermal water pumps is falling.
