Abstract

The results of testing of solar water heating collector with tube-type absorber produced from waterproof tube textiles with polymer coating were described. The experimental studies were made to determine the parameters of collector’s thermal performance. The test data were obtained concerning the overall energy loss coefficient and the efficiency of the collector.
