Performance study of air-heated packed-bed solar-energy collectors

Energy, 1981, vol. 6, issue 2, 153-157

Abstract: A performance study of three packed-bed solar collectors for air-heating is presented. Iron chips, aluminium chips, and pebbles have been used as packing materials. It is observed that the performance of plane collectors improves appreciably by packing with blackened metallic materials. Moreover, the packed-bed collector also works nicely as a thermal storage system. Iron-chips packed-bed collectors show the best performance.
