Abstract:

This study explores the performance of the Photovoltaic/Thermal system using nanofluid with a novel collector design. Experiments were carried out on the University of Technology- Iraq campus. An experiment was carried out using two photovoltaic modules, one connected to 120 protrusions arranged eight columns by 15 rows (for comparison) and the other not. Nanofluid was used to cool solar panels with flow rates of 1.5 and 3.5 l/min. The nanofluid contains nano-Al2O3 at 1%, 2%, and 3% concentrations in water. As the flow rate of water used as a cooling fluid increased, the surface temperature of the cell decreased. The cell temperature is reduced by 22.3% when Al2O3/water is added at a volumetric concentration of 3%. An increase in the electrical and thermal efficiency of PV/T systems was also recorded by 12% and 18.4%, respectively, at a concentration of 3%.
