Abstract

The inclusion of solar energy, which is a renewable energy source, in heating systems in buildings provides significant advantages. To make heating with solar energy sufficient and efficient, nanofluids are used in solar collectors. In this study, a hybrid heating prototype is produced, a control mechanism controlling the operation of the hybrid system is established and tests are carried out by including monoethylene glycol, propylene glycol, aluminum oxide, copper oxide, titanium dioxide, especially triethylene glycol-based nanofluids in the system. Finally, a new nanofluid is obtained by mixing triethylene glycol with aluminum oxide and is tested on the prototype. With the tests carried out under the same conditions, the temperature differences of the nanofluids in a certain time period are observed and recorded. It is observed that the mixture of water and triethylene glycol provided the lowest temperature increase by providing a temperature increase of 8.6 °C in the range of 0-90 minutes. It also is observed that the highest temperature increase is achieved with the 21 °C temperature increase of the pure water and aluminum oxide mixture. Although the water and triethylene glycol mixture performs more inefficiently than other mixtures, it is thought that it can be used for heat storage since it heats up for a long time and cools down for a long time.

Özet

Yenilenebilir enerji kaynağı olan güneş enerjisinin, binalardaki ısıtma sistemlerine dâhil edilmesi önemli avantajlar sağlamaktadır. Güneş enerjisi ile ısıtmanın yeterli ve verimli hale gelebilmesi için güneş kollektörlerinin içerisinde ısı transfer sıvıları kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hibrit bir ısıtma prototipi üretilerek, hibrit sistemin çalışmasını denetleyen kontrol mekanizması oluşturulmuş ve trietilen glikol esaslı ısı transfer sıvısı başta olmak üzere mono etilen glikol, propilen glikol, alüminyum oksit, bakır oksit, titanyum dioksit sisteme dahil edilerek testler yapılmıştır. Son olarak trietilen glikol ile alüminyum oksit birbirine karıştırılarak yeni bir ısı transfer sıvısı elde edilmiş ve prototip üzerinde test edilmiştir. Aynı şartlar altında gerçekleştirilen testler ile ısı transfer sıvılarının belirli zaman diliminde sıcaklık farkları gözlemlenerek kaydedilmiştir. Su, trietilen glikol karışımı, 0-90 dakika aralığında 8,6 °C sıcaklık artışı sağlayarak en düşük sıcaklık artışı sağlayan karışım olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca en yüksek sıcaklık artışının saf su ve alüminyum oksit karışımının 21 °C sıcaklık artışı ile elde edildiği gözlemlenmiştir. Su ve trietilen glikol karışımı diğer karışımlara göre daha verimsiz bir performans sergilese de uzun sürede ısınıp uzun sürede soğuduğu için ısının depolanması amacıyla kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir.
