Abstract :
The utilization of solar power is one of the most effective approaches to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction for industrial areas. However, the temperature of the collected heat in a typical non-concentrating solar power collector is normally lower than 90 degrees Celsius, which indeed dissatisfies the demand of the heat required in this industry. Thus, in order to obtain an efficient source of heat, the condensed solar power heating technology will be put into practice in accordance with the features of low energy density and intermittence corresponding to solar power. In this paper, we firstly validate the correctness of the mathematical model of the efficient solar power heating system based on lenticular condensation. Thereafter, the practical design based on the verified mathematical model can be produced. Finally, the simulated results have been analyzed in detail and the assets of this design can thus be revealed.
