Abstract
Description

The heat pipe flat plate solar collectors include multiple heat pipe condensation ends extending out of the end face of the collector shell, and multiple blind pipes corresponding to each other are arranged on the inner tank of the water tank. The inner hole of the blind pipe is a cylindrical cavity, and the heat pipe condensation end is a matching cylinder. In order to meet the requirements of heat conduction efficiency, the gap between the outer diameter of the cylindrical cavity of the heat pipe condensation end and the inner diameter of the cylindrical cavity of the inner hole of the blind pipe must be minimized as much as possible. The gap is usually set at about 1mm. Due to the small gap, it is difficult to align the condensation ends of a group of heat pipes into the corresponding blind pipes at the same time, so that the installation is difficult and the installation efficiency of the equipment is reduced. At the same time, due to the gap between the condensation end of the heat pipe and the blind pipe, the contact is not tight, and the gap is only filled with thermal conductive glue for heat conduction, and its thermal conductivity is low, so that the water tank has less heating capacity, which affects the promotion and application of the equipment.
