Abstract
The objective of short-term field monitoring is to provide a method of nonintrusively determining long-term performance of installed solar domestic hot water (SDHW) systems with non-stratified storage tanks in a short time at a low cost. This method can be used as a diagnostic tool to assist in troubleshooting SDHW systems. In this paper the authors discuss the theory behind the proposed methodology and use TRNSYS to develop storage temperature data for a SDHW system to see how the theory works under constant ambient conditions. The effects of initial storage temperature and solar radiation incident on the collector are investigated.
