Summary

This thesis focuses on the thermal analysis of solar water heater tanks, aiming to provide a clear and well-documented understanding, confirm existing theories, and draw conclusions to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of these systems. The research is divided into two main parts: the theoretical and the experimental. The theoretical part examines the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, technological innovations, and the evolution of renewable energy sources, with a special emphasis on the importance of solar energy. Additionally, the technological advancements that have contributed to improving the efficiency of solar water heaters are analyzed. The experimental part includes a comparative analysis between two different types of water heaters: a vertical and a horizontal one. The research methodology involves the collection and analysis of data from experimental tests, using modern analytical techniques for processing information and deriving reliable results. The findings are expected to confirm scientific knowledge regarding the efficiency of different materials and configurations of water heaters, offering guidelines for improving solar energy heating systems. The thesis concludes with a comprehensive analysis of the findings from the theoretical and experimental study, highlighting the key outcomes and providing recommendations for the future development and improvement of solar water heater technology.
