CFD and Energy Analysis of Photovoltaic-Supported Electrically Driven Heat Exchangers
摘要
The integration of renewable energy sources into industrial heating systems is a key step toward achieving more sustainable energy solutions. This study investigates the performance of an electrically powered heat exchanger supplied by photovoltaic (PV) panels, with the aim of improving energy efficiency in industrial heating applications. A detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is performed to evaluate the thermal and fluid dynamic behavior of the heat exchanger under various operating conditions. The study also examines the energy contribution of the PV system, taking into account the variability of solar input and its impact on the thermal energy delivered to the process.
