| Abstract: | This paper presents thermal performance of flat plate solar air heater
(SAH) with and without thermal storages. A forced convection solar collector
(FCSC) integrated with different sensible heat storage material has been
developed and tested for its performance for solar collector under
meteorological conditions of Aliyar, Pollachi Taulk, India. System consists of
a flat plate SAH with heat storage unit, and a centrifugal blower to increase
collector outlet temperature and efficiency (10-20%). Gravel with iron scraps
gives better efficiency than other storage materials. FCSC is more suitable for
drying high quality dried product even in a cloudy climate like Pollachi. |
