Solar Water Heaters – An introduction
Solar Water Heaters as the name suggests are used to heat water through solar energy. The solar water heater taps the sun’s heat and uses it to heat the water. Working Principle Solar water heaters works on the principle of thermosiphon. Cold water usually have higher density and stays at the bottom of any container. When the water is heated, the temperature rises and the density becomes lesser. As the density becomes lesser, the hot water moves to the top of the container. This is the principle of thermosiphon. The…

Components of a Solar Photo Voltaic Panel
Solar Photo Voltaic Panel is the key part of a solar photo voltaic power generation system. This articles briefs on the various components of a solar photo voltaic panel. The solar photo voltaic panels are kept outside facing the sunlight. The PV panel converts the sunlight in to DC electricity. The solar photo voltaic panel is generally of three types 1. Poly Crystalline solar panel 2. Mono Crystalline solar panel and 3. Thin Film panel. The crystalline panels are made of crystalline silicon while the thin film panels are made…

Solar Drier – An Introduction
Drying is widely used across industries for various applications, though the basic application is to remove water from the particle. For instance in food processing industry, apart from for the want of removing water, drying is used to inhibit the growth of substances such as bacteria, yeast, etc. It is also used to preserve food particles. In case of rubber, drying is used to harden the rubber whereas in the leather industry, drying is employed to remove water from the leather so that the growth of bacteria and other micro…

Heat Pumps – An introduction
Heat Pumps as the name suggests, is a heating device that transfers heat from the source of heat to heat sink. Heat sink transfers the heat generated to a fluid medium. In a way, heat sink is a passive heat exchanger. Naturally, as is the case with any energy transmission, heat energy travels from a hot area to colder area. But with the aid of heat pumps, the heat from a cold surface can be absorbed and transferred to a warmer surface, making the warming the warmer surface hot. In…

The journey of Energy Efficiency in Ceiling Fans
Ceiling Fans are one of the most widely used appliances in India. India, being a tropical country is usually hot or warm for most part of a year. It is estimated that there are around 400 million fans in India running for around 7 hours a day. The average power consumption is understood to be around 40W considering the various speed levels that may be used. This translates to around 1,12,000 MU being consumed everyday leaving a huge potential for energy efficiency. The energy efficiency in fans have come a…
