Abstract
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 a newly developed ICS-SWH for Scottish weather conditions. Field experiments were performed to investigate the performance of the newly developed ICS-SWH and the parameters affecting it. This was followed by developing a thermal macromodel able to compare the internal temperature variation under differing external weather conditions in order to evaluate the transient performance of
the ICS-SWH for field conditions. Through this work, important parameters for modeling field performance of ICS-SWH were established. The innovative modeling tool developed was found to accurately predict the bulk water temperature of the ICS-SWH for any orientation and location in the world with good accuracy.
