Etude comparative des performances thermiques d'un prototype de chauffe eau solaire pour deux sites algériens

The solar water heater is one of the most important applications of solar energy because it affects several areas large consumers of hot water as habitat, hotels, hospitals, barracks,...which can satisfy the need up to 80 %, it contributes to the reduction of gases greenhouse and energy conservation. Why the Algeria has implemented a large program for the development of solar water heaters in different sectors. The purpose of our work is to study the thermal performance of solar heater through a comparative study between two Algerian sites namely, Algiers and Adrar. The aim of this paper is to study the thermal performance of solar water heaters through a comparative study of two Algerian sites, namely Adrar Algiers. The design of the facilities is done by the Solo software, developed by CSTB, results are shown in tables and curves.
