Özet

In order to investigate the effects of new developments of solar collector types on the exergetic efficiency of a solar collector with distorted plates (nonparallel plates), an experimental set up was constructed. This experimental apparatus consists of four types of air-heating flat-plate solar collectors, air circulation fan, measuring elements and other auxiliary equipment. The experiments were made in February, March, April, May, June and July in 1992 under the same ambient air conditions for the four different collector types. The exergetic efficiency of the collectors is calculated by using the experimental data, and comparisons are performed among the different collectors.
