✦ Synopsis
Hourly thermal performance (both in laboratory and field conditions) of three designs of built-in-storage solar water heating systems of 100 litres capacity each has been reported. A different storage tank design is used in each of the three cases. Design I consists of three tanks connected in series; in Design II, a parallelepipedic tank is divided into five zones with baffles; Design III is a simple parallelepipedic tank. The first two designs help in inducing thermal stratification in the tank. It is seen from the results that the performance of Design II is the best of the three.
