Renewable Energy, 1996, vol. 8, issue 1, 268-271

Abstract: In this article we present a solar wall, which absorbs solar energy into black paraffin wax which is an example of phase change material (PCM). The stored heat is used for heating the air for the ventilation of the house. Experimental results for prototype of the solar wall are presented and operation of the wall in the heating season is calculated by computer simulation.
