Abstract

[Abstract]: This work presents the first assessment results of an evacuated tube solar collector at the Christchurch
Polytechnic Institute of Technology. The assessment includes, a quantification of the capacity of heated water
that could be supplied at different solar conditions and the realized energy savings (kWh), an interpretation of
the working efficiency of the collector at different solar radiation and ambient temperatures. This paper
presents a summary of the results achieved to date and outlines possible future developments that may be
necessary to allow this type of direct solar water heater to be deployed in NZ conditions.
