Abstract

This paper presents designing and performance analysis of a solar air collector with one ended evacuated tube collector at different air flow rates. The experimental set up consist of 15 evacuated tubes, inside each evacuated tube aluminium tubes are inserted for better performance of solar air collector. Experiments were performed at different air flow rates with the help of blower with regulator and to enhance the outlet temperature and thermal efficiency, reflector has been used. It has been found that the setup operated nearly two times more efficient at higher air flow rate with reflector than with low air flow rate.
