Abstract

The design and construction of a flat plate solar collector for domestic water heating made with recycled and easily accessible materials is presented. The system uses a pump to circulate the water and is tested under the conditions of the city of Quito. After the test days, an optimal functioning of the system is obtained as a result, reaching a stagnation Firma y sello de la Biblioteca Central temperature in the range of 70 – 80 ℃ and an average temperature inside the storage tank of 50 ℃ with a volume of water of 50 L. comfort temperature of 42 ℃ is satisfactorily reached and despite conditions of high presence of cloudiness, it is possible to have water at a temperature that is pleasant to the touch.
