Abstract

This paper presents an integrated collector storage solar water heater with a mixed asphalt absorber plate. It consists of a clear glass cover, an absorber plate made from mixed asphalt, storage tank and insulations. The storage tank contains 100 L of water and 1 m 2 of absorbed area. The measured data showed the maximum mixed asphalt temperature and maximum water temperature in the storage tank are 67°C and 63°C, respectively. The maximum and minimum hourly efficiencies are 62% and 20%, respectively. Additionally, the mean daily efficiency is 43.5%. The result showed that the mixed asphalt absorber plate is effective to provide thermal performance of integrated collector storage solar water heater with mixed asphalt absorber plate.
