Principle

Solar energy can be converted into heat energy with the help of the solar collector. A central component of the collector is the absorber, which converts the sun's radiation energy into heat and transfers it to a heat transfer medium flowing through it. With the help of this heat carrier, the heat is removed from the collector and then used or stored directly. The most common application in which solar energy is converted into heat is the production of hot water in households. In this experiment, it is clearly demonstrated how flowing water is heated by a solar collector.

Benefits

  • Part of a system solution - easily expandable for further experiments
  • Simple teaching by using the demo board physics
  • Clear test execution by using ADM3 multimeters

Learning objectives

  • The students observe the heating of water in a solar collector.
  • The students learn about the conversion of light energy into heat energy.
