Research on Thermal Properties of a Solar Air Collector

Article Preview

Abstract:

Solar heating has a broad application prospects in northern China. A new corrugated solar air collector within the heat plate holes was designed in this paper, and compared to air collector with a flat-plate collector plate in the same conditions, the current state, temperature distribution of the collector and its efficiency was studied, to identified its thermal performance. Experimental verification showed the experimental results accorded with numerical simulation.
