The Performance of the Interlocking Block Solar Collector

Abstract:

This paper investigates the thermal performance of the interlocking block solar collector. It consists of the interlocking block wall with horizontal cylindrical hollow and embedded the steel pipes connected in series, the steel pipe outer diameter are 25.4 mm; serves as a collector. The collector having a height of 2.2 m, 1.5 m wide, and thickness of 0.1 m. The results were presented the maximum temperature difference between inlet and outlet air temperatures by about 6°C. The room temperature of interlocking block solar collector is lower than the common interlocking block throughout the day. The efficiency of interlocking block solar collector during the experimental period was about 20%, that is a significantly to reduce heat gain into space room.
