Thermal model for performance prediction of integrated collector storage systems (2011)
Journal Article
Garnier, C., Muneer, T., & Currie, J. (2011). Thermal model for performance prediction of integrated collector storage systems. Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 3, https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3549148

The result of many years of global research on solar water heating systems has outlined the promising approach of integrated collector storage solar water heaters (ICS-SWHs) in cold climates. This research paper aims to model the field performance of... Read More about Thermal model for performance prediction of integrated collector storage systems.

Integrated collector storage solar water heater: temperature stratification (2009)
Journal Article
Garnier, C., Currie, J., & Muneer, T. (2009). Integrated collector storage solar water heater: temperature stratification. Applied Energy, 86, 1465-1469. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2008.12.009

An analysis of the temperature stratification inside an Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater (ICS-SWH) was carried out. The system takes the form of a rectangular-shaped box incorporating the solar collector and storage tank into a single...
