The use of solar radiation for generating heat in a solar air collector in northern Poland

Abstract

This article analyzes the use of solar radiation for generating heat in a simple solar air collector built in a laboratory. The structure of the collector and the equipment for measuring physical parameters were described. The aim of the study was to analyze the operating parameters and the thermal efficiency of a solar air collector in northern Poland. Various applications of solar air collectors were discussed. Solar air collectors can be used for heating, ventilating and drying indoor premises and for heating water.
