Konfigurasi Serpentine-Paralel dan Paralel-Serpentine pada Pipa Fluida Pemanas Air Surya Sistem Thermosiphon
Abstract: The aim of this
research is to compare the performance of two differences tube configuration in
solar hot water collector thermosiphon system of Serpentine-Parallel and
Parallel-Serpentine. Not only the tubes configuration are not the same, but
also the collector materials, such as hot water reservoir and heat absorber are
differences. For example, fiberglass and stainless steel reservoirs are
compared in terms of long-lasting heat isolation. Likewise, copper tubes
configuration between serpentine-parallel and parallel-serpentine are shown in
association with mass flow rates and times consume to heat the water within the
tubes. The test results show that parallel-serpentine configuration has higher
performance (around 50%) than that of serpentine-parallel (approximately 35%).
It is possibly because of fluid velocity within the tube configuration.
