Experimental Performance of a Solar Air Collector with a Perforated Back Plate in New Zealand

Experimental Performance of a Solar Air Collector with a Perforated Back Plate in New Zealand

This study investigates the thermal efficiency of a solar air heater (SAH), when it was mounted on a custom-made support frame, and was operated under different air mass flow rate. This SAH is composed of a transparent polycarbonate cover plate, a felt absorber layer, a perforated aluminium back pla...
