Manufacturing Procedure of a Hybrid Design of Solar Collector (Sterilization and Water Heating) By Solar and Electrical Energy

摘要

The purpose of the research is to design a hybrid solar collector, called (L1). This Collector operates by solar energy during daylight hours, which is approximately (12) hours, the work of the solar collector (L1) continues during night by using electrical power. Solar collector was tested during the period of December - 2017 to May - 2018.The results were excellent where it's records high temperature during the period from March - May 2018. Temperature recorded more than 100 °C. The outlet water from the solar collector (L1) was sterilized due to the high heating degree of the water, it reached boiling degree. The design of (L1) is suitable for a lot of environment or weather conditions, because it depends on the collection of the solar radiation in a small surface area; in addition, it works in low electrical power. Tests for (L1) were conducted in Basra city, southern Iraq, on latitude 30.5°N and longitude 47.8°E. Manufacturing of this solar collector is very easy with low cost. It can be used it in houses, scientific and health institutions.
