Güneş Panellerinde Soğutma Kanatçığı Uygulamaları için Modüler bir Bağlama Sisteminin Tasarımı

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Fotovoltaik (FV) panelleri soğutmak için kullanılan ısı emici kanatların panele bağlanabilmesi için mevcut uygulamalardan farklı olarak yeni bir modüler bağlama sistemi tasarlanmış ve bu sistemin FV panel ile birlikte ayrıntılı modeli oluşturulmuştur. Bu yeni model, soğutma amaçlı kullanılan farklı geometrilere ve büyüklüklere sahip ısı emicilerin de FV panel üzerine bağlanmasına imkân tanımıştır. Makalede, farklı geometrilerdeki ısı emicilerin etkin kanat uzunluğu geometrisini değiştirmeden bunları modüler sisteme entegre etmek için pim geometrili ısı emici modelleri önerilmiş ve tasarlanan FV modülün ayrıntılı olarak montajı, çalışma prensipleri ve ısı transferi açısından avantajları tartışılmıştır.

Design of a Modular Clamping System for Cooling Fin Applications in Solar Panels

Öz

In this study, a novel modular clamping system was proposed for attaching heat sink fins to Photovoltaic (PV) panels, differing from conventional methods, and a detailed model of this system was created together with the PV panel. This new model allowed heat sinks with different geometries and sizes used for cooling purposes to be connected to the PV panel. Pin geometry heat sink models were proposed to integrate heat sinks with different geometries into the modular system without changing the effective fin length geometry, and the detailed assembly of the designed PV panel, its working principles and advantages in terms of heat transfer were discussed.
