This article presents the results of a study into a packed bed filled with ceramic bricks. The designed storage installation is supposed to become part of a heating system installed in a single-family house and eventually to be integrated with a concentrated solar collector adapted to climate conditions in Poland. The system's working medium is air. The investigated temperature ranges and air v...

In the recent times, the use of solar energy for the refrigeration purpose has been increasing day by day. Generally, solar used for cooling purpose has proposed many advantageous features in the refrigeration field. The cooling path is basically depends on the amount of solar radiation. The more amount of solar radiation directly increases the C.O.P. of the system. In this research paper, the ...

Solar chimneys are popular systems for their simple structures and clean energy generation. Thanks to its semi-permeable structure, the collector, one of system’s basic elements, transfers solar radiation system. As a result heating system air under collector by passing through it is directed high chimney in centre. During upward movement air, converts into electricity via turbine. Due large es...

The present study reports a novel concept of a direct solar thermal collector that harnesses the localized surface plasmon of metallic nanoparticles suspended in water. At the plasmon resonance frequency, the absorption and scattering from the nanoparticle can be greatly enhanced via the coupling of the incident radiation with the collective motion of electrons in metal. However, the surface pl...

This paper presents a study of the thermal performance solar air collector used to heat drying fruit and vegetable dryer. The prototype could be viable solution improve energy efficiency food security in Burkina Faso other developing countries, by contributing reduction post-harvest losses increase income for local agricultural producers. is first realized using black painted cans as ducts, per...

At present time, the SE applied to solar dish reflectors is not competitive compared other concentrated power technologies because Stirling CSP equipment has complex and expensive engines does have a proper energy storage system. This paper introduces technology, proposes layout of simple with compressed air system, examines total performance equipment.
