Summary
A solar thermal collector can be optimized in different aspects, such as the use of a better insulation material to reduce the heat losses, a better absorber with a better specific coating (2), or a better heat transfer fluid. Heat transfer fluids based on water and ethyleneglicol are widely known and used in typical solar collectors. Our intention is to improve the heat transfer efficiency of a heat transfer fluid composed of water and ethyleneglicol with graphene, creating a pumpable nanofluid which could be used industrially. A second purpose is to achieve equilibrium between cost/efficiency without retrofitting.
