Ano<strong>the</strong>r important consideration in <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> a DHW system is <strong>the</strong> optimal volume <strong>of</strong> a<br />

storage tank. Calculations were performed for storage volumes ranging from 1 m 3 to 12 m 3 .<br />

The accumulated <strong>solar</strong> energy rose <strong>and</strong> auxiliary energy dem<strong>and</strong> decreased with <strong>the</strong><br />

enlargement <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> volume <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> storage tank. As shown in graph below (Fig. 3.48), <strong>the</strong><br />

recommended volume <strong>of</strong> accumulated water, which will be heated by <strong>the</strong> <strong>solar</strong> panels, is<br />

about 4 m 3 . Design <strong>of</strong> two storage tanks is recommended. One device will work during <strong>the</strong><br />

winter <strong>and</strong> both in parallel connection will be used during <strong>the</strong> warm periods <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year.<br />
