The Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater (ICS-SWH) designed and manufactured in the Alternative and Renewable Energy Research unit, at Technical Engineering College of Najaf. Its consist of a collector box that works as container of receiver cylinder having a length of 1.3m, width 0.83m , short height 0.32 m, and long height 0.81m and receiver cylinder work as the receiver of solar energy to heat the water flows have outer diameter 0.4 m and length 1.1 m. The thermal performance was evaluated extensively throughout the month of March 2015; a maximum temperature difference of 36.3 oC between inlet and outlet of the solar water heater at a mass flow rate of 9 kg/h was achieved. The efficiency of the integrated collector storage solar water heater was calculated. The maximum value during the experimental period was found to be 52%. This reveals a good capability of the system to convert solar energy to heat which can be used for heating water. The objectives of this work are construction solar water heater with minimum law cost and work in Iraq weather.
