Abstract

A natural convection solar air heater with a storage suitable for domestic space heating is tested. The performance of the collector-storage system is investigated under different modes of operation during the winter season. Measured value of temperature, air flow rate, stored energy and efficiency are reported. It is expected that the results and conclusions will be valuable in the design of unit for the domestic space heating, green houses and other purposes.
