<p>Althur,</p>
<p>The temperature range that is practical depends on your solar technology. Un-glazed flat plates won't work, glazed flat plates may work, evacuated tubes might work and concentrators will very likely work. You should find the efficiency equation for the type of collector that you are considering and see what that collector does at 100 C.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,
<div> </div>
<div>I am currently deciding which hot water temperature range that is appropriate enough for an absorption chiller to operate. Initially i thought it is ok to set hot water temperature range to be 110 to 100 oC at generator inlet and outlet, respectively, meaning 100oC flows into solar collector and , at least, 110oC needs to be produced out of it. Is the temperature range i chose unpractical ? not sure if most of the times heat would lost as water flows through the collector instead of getting heat.</div>

<div>Thanks a lot.</div>

<div>Sincerely.</div>
