摘要
This paper presents an analytical method for the dimensioning and selection of the four glass tube collector types: single-glazed with an air layer, single-glazed with a vacuum layer, double-glazed with an air layer, and double-glazed with a vacuum layer. In the first part of the paper (dimensioning phase), the iterative thermal resistance calculation algorithms were developed for all glass tube collector types, whereby the iterative thermal resistance calculation algorithm of the single-glazed tube collector with an air layer was experimentally tested and validated. The second part of the paper (selection phase) uses a multi-criteria decision-making method to determine the optimal glass tube collector design. Unlike other papers, three indicator groups are taken into account in this case: geometric (mass, surface occupation, total surface occupation, volume occupation), economic (manufacturing and exploitation costs), and ecological (embodied energy and greenhouse gas emission). The proposed method is characterized by simple and fast calculations with satisfactory accuracy, which avoids high investment costs (experimental research), approximation and discretization of physical models (numerical research), and a large number of input parameters with boundary conditions (theoretical research). It should be noted that, with certain additions and changes, it can also be applied to other solar thermal collectors, so the authors believe such tools are handy for the global scientific public.
