Cleaning of accumulated dust particle of a flat plate solar collector

Limon, Amir Hamza, Bhuiya, Muhammad, Rahman, Mostafizur, & (2018) Cleaning of accumulated dust particle of a flat plate solar collector. In International Conference on Mechanical, Industrial and Energy Engineering, 2018-12-23 - 2018-12-24, Khulna, Bangladesh, BGD.

Description

An experimental investigation was carried out to find out the effective cleaning method of the glazing material of solar collector. The study emphasized on solar panel glazing material cleaning process using water force impinging by a nozzle. A nozzle is used to make a water jet having a velocity which is impacted on the glazing material of a solar plate collector. The project investigated the optimum position of nozzle with respect to glass at which the dust removing rate is maximum. The jet of different velocities were used to perform the experiment and the maximum tangential force was found between 30º-40º relative angle of impacted jet with respect to the glazing material at which the maximum cleaning can be possible. This project will help to ensure the maximum amount of solar beam reach to the receiver for power generation. It can be noted that this technique will help to clean the solar collector with a reasonable cost and effectively.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
