Abstract
The numerical modeling of warm water displacement from an inclined tank of an integrated collector storage solar water heater was performed, connection schemes of two heaters and the location of a supply and an extraction pipes were compared. It was shown that the parallel connection of heaters provides the stability of the stratification and a higher heat pickup than the series one, and the diagonal layout of the pipes in a stratified tank is preferable. The picture of thermocline dissipation was studied and the strong influence of the displacing fluid temperature on the degree of stratification was shown.
