Abstract: The experimental investigation described in this paper was devoted to the study of the influences of some design parameters on the performances of channel-type flat-plate solar air-heaters. The effects of cover-to-absorber plate spacing, absorber-to-back plate spacing and the optimal number of glass covers were studied. In addition, a comparison was made between the behaviours of three different flow arrangements and for a system with a long straight channel and a group of short subsequent channels. The flow arrangements considered included the air passage over, and/or under, the absorbing black plate.
