Experimental Study on the Solar Air Collector Module Used in Northern Rural

Article Preview

Abstract:

By using a solar air collector module with independent design as the object of study, obtained the temperature distribution of collector module in various conditions through experimental studying of its structure and operating parameters. The experimental results show that adding bulkhead in collector module and increasing the collector plate openings of collector module can enhance the heat-transfer by convection between air and collector plate. At the same time, the outlet air temperature of collector module is significantly higher than the temperature of the collector plate; On the other hand, the maximum temperature difference between import and export can reach to 333 K when the collector plate is 90° corrugated table-flap. And this condition has the maximum temperature difference between import and export in all conditions at some point.
