Influence of required tank water temperature on the energy performance and water withdrawal potential of a solar water heating system equipped with a heat pipe evacuated tube collector

[Display omitted] •The global efficiency of an SWH system with an ETC is examined.•The influence of the rTWT on collector and global efficiencies is quantified.•The influence of the rTWT on hot water production is quantified. Hot water is a key demand of many industrial and domestic heating systems....
