Algorithm of a Solar Installation for Hot Water Provision in an Agritourist Hostel

Abstract

This paper presents the algorithm used for calculating the choice and the dimensions of an installation of solar panels used for heating the water necessary for an agritourist hostel. The starting point was the establishment of the daily water consumption, in accordance with the regulations in force, of the surface for capturing the solar energy and of the number of necessary panels. Useful remarks are made regarding the ideal way of placing the solar panels, after which the algorithm is continued with the necessary capacity for the heater, the necessary time for heating the water from the heater, the necessary power of heating the water, the surface of the heat exchanger and the medium efficiency of the collector.
