Design, Construction and Installation of Solar Water Heater : LAP Lambert Academic Publishing : 9786139454860 : 6139454867 : 25 Feb 2019 : This report outlines systematic design of a solar water heating system for use in the Hotel, Catering and Institutional Management (H.C.I.M) Department of the Bolgatanga Polytechnic in the Upper East Region of Ghana and presents the results of calculations of the design parameters. A solar water heating system for domestic use has been designed and constructed using locally available materials. Solar energy is received by a flat-plate collector consisting of a thin absorber plate, integrated with underneath grids of fluid carrying tubes, and placed in an insulated casing with a transparent glass cover having a cold and a hot water tank integrated in the system. The radiation emitted by the sun is absorbed by the absorber plate and contained within it thereby increasing the temperature of the water in the tubes. The water gets heated and flows into a
