Computerized solar thermal energy test bench STECTCP/EV is a training equipment that allows you to practically examine the conversion of solar energy into thermal energy using a flat plate solar collector. The system components are made of real components available on the market, making this simulator ideal for educational institutions and laboratories.
Main functions and features:
- The solar collector can be used outdoors and indoors (an additional device SS-1/EV is required for indoor lighting).
- The collector is mounted on casters and the frame is adjustable to assess performance at different slopes and orientations.
- Hot water is stored in an 80-liter tank and can be used as a source of domestic hot water or for a heating system.
Technical specifications:
- Main module:
- Electric water heater with solar heat exchange circuit (1.2 kW).
