Abstract

This paper presents the main components and theory of operation of a new solar heater system using a doubly metallic flat - plate collectors. The proposed heating system has the features of having a quick heating response, more hot water is collected in a second reservoir to be utilized in cloudy days and eventually this system permits the utilization of all types of radiation even the fluctuated one. 
In addition, our article deals with the general analysis of the factors affecting the quantitative performance of the flat - plate collector.
