Applied Energy, 1986, vol. 22, issue 2, 145-155

Abstract: Considerable improvement in collector efficiency of solar air heaters is obtained with air flowing over, instead of under, the absorbing plate. However, this leads to increasing the top loss. Therefore, an additional cover may be needed for this design.
