Abstract:Solar air collectors are widely used for the heating of buildings in cold areas owing to their high light-heat conversion rate, non-freezing of air medium, and low manufacturing cost. However, the intermittency of solar energy conflicts with the user's comprehensive heating demands, thereby hindering the promotion of solar air collectors. To solve the above issue, in this study, a solar air collector model with a new heat storage device (Type 2) was designed by comprehensively considering five factors, such as… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
