Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water heater testing, and in particular to a method for testing the heating performance of a photovoltaic-thermal integrated water heater. Background Art
[0002] With the widespread application of photovoltaic thermal water heaters in the field of renewable energy, their performance evaluation technology has become a key factor restricting the development of the industry. The existing testing system has significant limitations in environmental simulation, data collection, efficiency evaluation and other aspects, making it difficult for test results to truly reflect actual working conditions. For example, the initial conditions (such as the water temperature of the hot water storage tank and the cold water inlet temperature) lack precise control, the parameter fluctuation range is large and there is no unified standard, resulting in poor comparability of data between different test batches or equipment; the dynamic monitoring capability is insufficient, relying only on low-frequency sampling or key node recording, unable to capture transient changes in the heat output process, and it is difficult to fully reflect the thermal response characteristics of the system; in addition, the existing methods generally ignore the heat loss factors such as insulation loss and pipe heat dissipation during the heat output process of the water heater, resulting in an inflated heat output rate calculation result that cannot truly reflect the performance in actual usage scenarios.
[0003] The above problems together lead to low reliability and poor data comparability of photovoltaic thermal water heater performance test results, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of product design optimization, market access certification, etc. There is an urgent need to establish a standardized and high-precision testing method to scientifically evaluate the system's thermal output performance.
