Features Data Collection Interface! Introduce students to active solar hot water and heat production used in homes worldwide and how to create a sustainable source of energy. A series of activities focus on heat transfer, heat absorption, insulation, solar geometry and solar heat collector mechanics. Students then apply this information in the design of a solar hot water and space heater. A data interface and sensors are used to gather data during activities as well as display the data in graph and chart form.
Lab includes:?Assembled Active Solar Space Heater, adjustable solar collector, pump, lamp (light source), sensors, stand, absorption materials, insulation materials, tubing, clamps, digital thermometer, angle finder, measuring containers, assembled data collection interface, software, USB cable, Active Solar Space Heater Guide, instructions, and design portfolio.
