1A commercial flat-plate solar thermal collector array receives an average solar irradiance of 300 BTU/h·ft². The collectors have a total surface area of 400 ft² and deliver heat to a fluid loop where the entering fluid temperature is 110°F, leaving temperature is 140°F, and flow rate is 4.8 GPM of pure water. What is the thermal efficiency of the solar collector array?
2When calibrating a differential temperature controller for a solar thermal forced-circulation hydronic heating loop, what is the standard recommended collector-to-tank temperature differential (ΔT) to start the solar circulating pump (cut-in setpoint)?
3An HVAC solar contractor is installing an active closed-loop solar thermal system in northern Arizona. What concentration of uninhibited or inhibited USP propylene glycol in water is required to provide freeze protection down to -28°F?
4During a summer power outage in Phoenix, Arizona, a high-efficiency glazed flat-plate solar collector array enters a stagnation condition (zero fluid circulation under full sunlight). What internal absorber temperature can these collectors reach?
5A closed solar thermal collector loop contains 30 gallons of 50% propylene glycol solution. The system operates between a cold fill temperature of 60°F (fill pressure 30 psig) and a maximum operating temperature of 210°F (relief valve set at 75 psig). Given fluid thermal expansion of 5.5%, what is the minimum required total acceptance volume of the solar expansion tank?
6In a solar thermal drainback HVAC system, all solar piping between the outdoor roof collectors and the indoor drainback reservoir tank must be installed with a continuous downward slope. What is the minimum required pitch per foot of pipe run according to solar piping standards?
7According to the International Mechanical Code (IMC) and Plumbing Code (IPC), when a solar thermal loop containing toxic chemical additives (such as ethylene glycol or chemical corrosion inhibitors) transfers heat to a potable water heating system, what type of heat exchanger MUST be used?
8Because solar water heating storage tanks can reach temperatures well in excess of 160°F on bright summer days, what device must be installed on the domestic hot water supply line leaving the solar storage tank to prevent scalding?
9A solar-assisted absorption air conditioning system utilizes a single-effect lithium bromide-water (LiBr-H2O) absorption chiller. What minimum hot water generator fluid supply temperature is required from the solar collector array for effective chiller operation?
10Where should a microbubble air eliminator / air separator be installed in a closed-loop hydronic solar thermal system for optimum air removal performance?
