The collector model (and all the other models) calculate temperatures even when there is no flow. The collector, for example calculates a stagnation temperature of the fluid sitting in the collector. If you are seeing a temperature difference across the collector and the outlet is below the inlet temperature) then that may be due to thermal losses from the fluid sitting in the collector.

Hi all,I am just wondering, why there is temperature at the inlet and outlet of solar panel in SDHW example when there is no flow across the solar panel.Looking forward to hearing from you soon.ThanksKindest Regards
